Jalen Hurts celebrates Eagles’ grit as they claim victory over the Packers, proving heart matters more than the scoreboard.QQ

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts wants his team to be very proud of their MNF win.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ win over the Green Bay Packers may have not looked like much on paper, along with a final score of 10-7, but it’s one that quarterback Jalen Hurts wants his team to be very proud of.

Playing at Lambeau Field is hard enough, but winning is even harder, especially on Monday Night Football.

“Come to Lambeau Field, find a way to win,” Hurts said. “Throughout this week, even today, from my loved ones and even (team owner) Mr. (Jeffrey) Lurie, we always talk before the game. We’re talking about things we talk about, but he talked about how historic the stadium was and the memories that he had coming to watch the championship games here, and just encouraged me to go be myself. And I think about how historic a venue it is. Found a way to win here as a collective group in this environment on ‘Monday Night Football.’ It’s a big, big-time win. That’s a big testament to our team.”

Jalen Hurts remains confident in his team moving forward

Hurts wrapped up the win, completing 15-of-26 passes for 183 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. He also ran five times for 27 yards. The only touchdown of the game was a 36-yarder by DeVonta Smith to seal the deal.

“We’re very confident in what we can do,” Hurts said. “We just have to go out there and play at a high level more consistently. And you know, I think this game was a perfect example of what it could be when we take advantage of our opportunities, and then when we don’t control the things that we can, how they can hinder us.”

But regardless of the Eagles’ offense looking lackluster, which is something Hurts blames on himself, the defense did their part and the win ultimately secured them the top seed in the NFC heading into Week 12.

“Defense played lights out,” Hurts said. “I mean, won the situational battle. Showed up in the end of the game when we could have avoided putting them in that position. But I feel like when there was a mishap, we had each other’s backs, and that’s all you can ask for. And so I’m proud of how we competed.

“I’m proud of how we weathered through and persevered. I think we showed great resilience throughout this game. And that’s a hell of a team we played. You know, it’s the best defense we played all year. And with the talent that they have, the ability to rush the passer, who they have in the back end and a really good group, so, obviously, we’ll enjoy this one while we can.”
