AJ Brown Throws Apparent Shot at Jalen Hurts
Despite the win, it was another ugly outing for Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who threw for just 108 yards in the victory. Following the game, Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown appeared to call Hurts out, claiming that the team needed to improve their passing.
Brown also said that the lack of targets can often become "frustrating."

Saquon Barkley Details Unreal Play
A large reason for the Eagles' nine-game winning streak has been their star running back Saquon Barkley, who they acquired as a free agent in the offseason. He has rushed for more than 100 rushing yards in Philadelphia's last four games.
During the Eagles matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier this season, Barkley caught a pass from quarterback Jalen Hurts and did something in the open field that fans had never seen before — he hurdled backward.
Amid all the hoopla surrounding his unreal hurdle, which has taken social media by storm, Barkley broke down his unreal play.
"What really happened was, I was going to hit a double spin," Barkley said. "I aborted it. I spun, I went to spin again, and I just like — it probably is going to take away how cool the play is — I thought he was going low, so I was just [thinking] I'll be cool if I did jump up. My body kind of took over."
Barkley's hurdle was undoubtedly one of the plays of the year. But Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni is willing to take it one step further, calling it the best play he's ever seen.
"It was the best play I've ever seen," Sirianni said, via 94 WIP's Eliot Shorr-Parks. "There's going to be kids all over the country and all over Philadelphia really [thinking] about that and trying to make that play...as they play backyard football or pee wee football.
