The team finished the game with 363 total rushing yards. Hurts added 70 rushing yards on 15 carries and scored three touchdowns on the ground. The Packers may not have the best run defense, but the Eagles’ offense absolutely ran the ball down their throats. Hurts wasn’t the only effective Eagles rusher, either, Miles Sanders ran for over 100 yards, Kenny Gainwell got into the endzone, and Boston Scott broke free a couple times. Hurts still spread the ball around to the receivers - he had 153 passing yards, as well -, but was able to scramble for first downs several times and lean on the ground game. The Eagles’ QB ran for over 50 yards in the first drive alone, with a crucial 24-yard run on third down to keep the drive alive, and 28-yard run to set up the short score. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (1) passes the ball as Washington Commanders defensive end Montez Sweat (90) chases during the first quarter at FedExField. In addition to the franchise record, Hurts became the first quarterback in NFL history to have 125+ pass yards and 125+ rush yards in one half, and the first QB since at least 1950 to have 150+ pass yards and 150+ rush yards and multiple passing TDs in a single game. Hurts’ 145 rushing yards by the end of the third quarter was more than enough to take the top spot, but he kept going and finished the game with 157 rushing yards. Sunday night’s Eagles- Packers primetime matchup turned out to be a record-setting outing for Jalen Hurts, who surpassed Michael Vick’s previously held record (130 yards) for rushing yards by a QB.
