Jalen Hurts was on fire
He threw for 315 yards and 4 touchdowns, including a beautiful long bomb to A.J. Brown. That guy can throw! He also added 73 rushing yards and a touchdown. Hurts is a dual-threat quarterback who can make plays both in the air and on the ground. He's a force to be reckoned with!
The Eagles' defense was dominant
They held the Bengals' high-powered offense in check for most of the game. They were all over the field! They sacked Joe Burrow 4 times and forced a couple of turnovers.
The Bengals' offense struggled to finish drives
They had a few drives stall out in the red zone, which ultimately cost them the game. It's hard to win when you can't score touchdowns in the red zone.
The Eagles are now 7-0 on the season and are looking like one of the best teams in the league. They've got a lot of momentum! The Bengals, on the other hand, are 4-3 and will need to figure out how to win those close games.
