Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles juggernaught took another scalp on Thursday night. The NFC East leaders rolled into NRG Stadium and took care of business with a 29-17 win and move to 8-0 for the season.While many were expecting a blowout given the Eagles were undefeated and the Texans had won just once through seven games, it was a closer contest in the end.Hurts completed 21 of his 27 passes for 243 yards and two touchdowns. World-renowned Dallas Cowboys fan Skip Bayless took to Twitter to express his admiration for the Eagles quarterback after the win.&quot;You can have Josh Allen. My MVP so far is Jalen Hurts, who makes it very difficult for this lifelong, diehard Cowboy fan to hate the Eagles.&quot;Skip Bayless@RealSkipBaylessYou can have Josh Allen.

My MVP so far is Jalen Hurts, who makes it very difficult for this lifelong, diehard Cowboy fan to hate the Eagles.That is certainly a big statement considering the level of play that Josh Allen has produced this season. It is also surprising to see a Cowboys fan speak so glowingly of a direct rival. But here we are.Bayless wasn't the only one signing Hurts' praise after the win over Houston as several fans like what they saw.I'm back@NewPD35@RealSkipBayless So much better than Dak7@RealSkipBayless So much better than Dakjon hamm stan@davidzehnerrW twitter.com/RealSkipBayles…Skip Bayless@RealSkipBaylessYou can have Josh Allen.

But the Texans made it a ball game all night. The 29-17 scoreline perhaps flatters the Eagles somewhat, but a win is a win.NFL@NFLHe's still open! @1kalwaysopen_ gives the @Eagles a lead! #FlyEaglesFly#PHIvsHOU on Prime VideoAlso available on NFL+ bit.ly/3T9oWnu1192212He's still open! @1kalwaysopen_ gives the @Eagles a lead! #FlyEaglesFly#PHIvsHOU on Prime VideoAlso available on NFL+ bit.ly/3T9oWnu https://t.co/LiOHjIp337Now sitting at 8-0 and inching closer to an the NFC East title, the Eagles are in prime position to make it to the playoffs for the second year running.On Thursday night, helped by two Davis Mills interceptions, Philadelphia did just enough to continue its winning streak.Hurts threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns as he barely put a foot wrong all night. Tight end Dallas Goedert was the Eagles' best receiver, catching eight passes for 100 yards and a touchdown. While running back Mile Sanders (17 carries, 93 yards, 1 TD) was a star on the ground.NFL@NFLDefenses gotta hate this. @JalenHurts too slippery.#PHIvsHOU on Prime VideoAlso available on NFL+ bit.ly/3T9oWnu779109Defenses gotta hate this. @JalenHurts too slippery.#PHIvsHOU on Prime VideoAlso available on NFL+ bit.ly/3T9oWnu https://t.co/aUzvE0UCFUThe Texans, missing two of their best receivers, were up against it and could not afford to give the Eagles takeaways. Mills did it twice.They have now slumped to 1-6-1 on the season and look destined for another poor year. For the Eagles, up next is Washington as they will look to maintain their undefeated record in 2022.
