The Eagles won their eighth consecutive game behind a defense that passes every test and a running game led by Saquon Barkley that wears its opponents down late in games. The 24-19 win over the Ravens in Baltimore kept the Eagles three games ahead of Washington in the loss column at the top of the NFC East and just a game behind the Detroit Lions for the best record in the NFC.

It’s been an unusual stretch for Jalen Hurts, who hasn’t put up gaudy numbers at any point during this eight-game winning streak but has played virtually mistake-free football throughout.

Despite Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts's stat line in Sunday's win over the Baltimore Ravens, head coach Nick Sirianni defended his performance and added he should win this prestigious award.
