‘Never a Doubt!’: Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles Continue to Win 'By Any Means'
Jalen Hurts put together an MVP performance in the second half against the Buffalo Bills to lead the Philadelphia Eagles to a 37-34 overtime win at home on Sunday.
For the second time in less than a week, Hurts and the Eagles showed impressive resilience to mount a second-half comeback.
"Guess we just had to make it fun," Hurts said via CBS Sports. "That's a hell of a team we just played. As I've said before, in this league it's all about winning and finding ways to win. We got to continue to get better, we got to be better in the first half, I've got to be better, I didn't play a great first half. That's something I have to change but we found a way, we played team football, and we found a way to win."
Hurts went 18 of 31 passing for 200 yards, three touchdowns and an interception while rushing for 65 yards and two touchdowns. It was the first game in Hurts' professional career, both regular season and playoffs, that he accumulated five total touchdowns.

The Eagles came back from yet another double-digit deficit, trailing 17-7 at halftime and then 24-14 at the end of the third quarter. They scored 30 points in the second half and overtime to steal the win. It is the eighth-straight game in which Philadelphia has trailed by double-digits that Hurts has won.
The most crucial touchdown came in overtime, when Hurts took things into his own hands, finding the end zone on a quarterback draw from 12 yards out for the game-winning score.
"Never a doubt, never a doubt," Hurts said. "By any means, we will find a way. That's just the mentality we have and it takes a special group to be able to do that. Playing together, sticking through things, seeing things through. We got a lot to clean up so back to the drawing board to do that."
Hurts and the Eagles will now look ahead to next weekend's matchup with the 8-3 San Francisco 49ers. The game will be played on Sunday, Dec. 3 at Lincoln Financial Field at 4:25 p.m.
