On Sunday, Jalen Hurts led the Philadelphia Eagles to another comeback win, this time beating the Buffalo Bills 37-34 in overtime. The Eagles seemed to be dominated for most of the game, but they fought back in the second half and kept their winning streak alive once again.
Even though Jalen Hurts had two turnovers, he still amassed five total touchdowns and led his team on a rainy day. The Bills had a 24-14 lead at one point late in the third quarter, but the Eagles found ways to keep battling until they got the break they needed - two clutch touchdowns from Hurts to A. J. Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus.
After the game, the NFL's official X profile asked the fans whether Jalen Hurts was set to win the MVP award this season - one with no clear favorites after 12 weeks. However, the answer was clear: most fans don't believe the quarterback has done enough to receive such an important award:
