Eagles top Vikings as Hurts throws for 326 yards and 3 TDs
MINNEAPOLIS — Jalen Hurts threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns and the Philadelphia Eagles snapped a two‑game losing streak with a 28-22 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium. DeVonta Smith finished with a career‑high 183 receiving yards and A.J. Brown added 121 yards and two scores as Philadelphia’s passing attack produced its most efficient showing of the season.
Hurts completed 19 of 23 passes for a perfect 158.3 passer rating, connecting on a 37‑yard touchdown to Brown on the opening drive, a 79‑yard touchdown to Smith early in the second half and a 26‑yard strike to Brown in the fourth that extended the lead. Defensive back Jalyx Hunt returned an interception 42 yards for a touchdown, and the Eagles’ red‑zone defense forced Minnesota to settle for field goals on multiple trips inside the 20.
“We used those two losses as fuel,” Hurts said after the game, adding that the team had “some fire” but needed to remain calm and execute in the fourth quarter. Coach Nick Sirianni said the staff made adjustments during an extended mini bye after two recent setbacks and leaned into the team’s top receivers downfield.
