The QB had a difficult first half against the Minnesota Vikings. While the Eagles led the Vikings 3-0 from the 1st quarter, it was only due to a punt from their kicker. The second half however has exploded to life with TDs from both teams. With the Vikings nabbing a 7-3 lead from their TD, the Eagles were on the verge of heading into halftime behind the Vikings.
However, Hurts took it upon himself to change the tide for the Philadelphia Eagles. With less than 5 minutes on the clock in the second quarter, Hurts pushed forward and helped the Eagles grab a TD within 10 yards. The points helped the Eagles go 10-7 against the Vikings, which could prove crucial at the end of the match.
