Through 14 weeks in the NFL regular season, Jalen Hurts is the favorite to win MVP but a division rival of the Philadelphia Eagles questions if he deserves the credit he is getting.
The Eagles are the NFL’s best team through Week 14, sitting at an impressive 12-1 record to place them atop the NFC. The Dallas Cowboys are 10-3, tied with the Minnesota Vikings for the second-best record in the NFC but are settling for the top wild-card spot as of now because of Hurts and Philadelphia.
The Eagles quarterback currently has the best QB rating in the NFL at 108.4 to go along with 3,157 passing yards, 22 touchdowns and just three interceptions while adding 686 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground as well. There’s no doubt Hurts should (at least) be in the conversation but Micah Parsons feels it’s the team more than the quarterback when it comes to Philadelphia’s success this season.
“It’s system and team,” Parsons said when appearing on Von Miller’s podcast, “The Voncast,” as he questioned Hurts’ MVP résumé.
Unlike Parsons, Miller believes it’s both Hurts and the team propelling the Eagles.
There’s no doubt the Eagles have a loaded roster ready to make a run for a Super Bowl title but to not give Hurts credit for his MVP-level play is tough to do. It’s good to see the rivalry live on, though.
The Eagles and Cowboys are set to meet for a Christmas Eve matchup in Week 16 at 4:25 p.m. ET.
