Joe Whitt talked about his Commanders’ defense being physical with Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, but Philadelphia is doing all the bullying.
Earlier in the week, the Washington defense coordinator discussed treating the Philadelphia quarterback like a running back whenever he carried the football.
So far, it’s been all Hurts and the Eagles, who have 108 yards rushing, including this nine-yard draw from the quarterback.

Hurts has eight carries for 15 yards (1.9 avg) and, most importantly, two rushing touchdowns as Philadelphia nears a return trip to the Super Bowl.
