While most Los Angeles Rams fans are incredibly worried about how Chris Shula's squad is going to slow down Saquon Barkley, one player who has shockingly flown under the radar is Jalen Hurts, the Philadelphia Eagles' Pro Bowl quarterback and one-time MVP candidate.

Barkley left little doubt he and others in the locker room are confident Hurts can do whatever is needed to guide Philadelphia to more than just a home divisional-round victory over the Los Angeles Rams this coming Sunday afternoon.

Jalen Hurts knows the numbers everyone talks about: 131 passing yards, 5.3 yards per attempt, 21 attempts, six passing first downs, seven attempts over 10+ air yards, one attempt over 25+ air yards. He's not oblivious.

The Eagles have gone 14-3 in both 2022 and this season, tying the best regular-season records in franchise history. Hurts as the starter was 14-1 in 2022, when he led the Eagles to the Super Bowl and was the best player on the field in the Eagles' 38-35 loss to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl with 304 yards passing and 70 yards rushing.
