Jalen Hurts rewrote the record books for NFL quarterbacks on Sunday, setting a new benchmark for his position while adding to his own history book. Hurts went 14 of 20 for 202 yards with two touchdowns and a 115.0 passer rating for the Philadelphia Eagles in their 34-6 win over the Dallas Cowboys, while also having seven carries for 56 yards and two touchdowns.
With the two rushing touchdowns, Hurts has 10+ rushing touchdowns for the fourth consecutive season. Hurts became the first quarterback in league history to have 10+ rushing touchdowns in four different seasons, breaking a tie with Cam Newton for the most in NFL history.
Hurts also has 10+ rushing touchdowns in four consecutive seasons, breaking his own mark for the most consecutive seasons for a quarterback with 10+ rushing touchdowns (three).
