In a game that saw Philadelphia's offense finally find its rhythm, Jalen Hurts rebounded from a dismal performance to throw three touchdown passes, leading the Eagles to a resounding 31-0 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for the Eagles, who struggled to find consistency in their offense in recent weeks. The Eagles' offense, under the direction of coordinator Kevin Patullo, showed signs of life against the struggling Raiders, with a balanced mix of play calling and a strong performance from Hurts. The quarterback threw for 175 yards on 12 of 15 attempts, including a 27-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Brown in the fourth quarter that sealed the win. Saquon Barkley also contributed to the Eagles' victory, rushing for 78 yards and a 2-yard touchdown run that sent the team into halftime with a 17-0 lead. The Eagles' defense was equally impressive, holding the Raiders to just 64 yards of passing offense and sacking quarterback Kenny Pickett four times. The win was a much-needed boost for the Eagles, who had been struggling to regain their footing after a three-game losing streak. Hurts, in particular, needed a strong performance after throwing four interceptions and losing a fumble in an overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in his previous game. The Eagles still control the NFC East and have a home playoff game in sight, with a soft schedule down the stretch that includes two games against the Washington Commanders. While the team has faced some challenges this season, they remain a viable contender for the Super Bowl championship, with Hurts and Barkley leading the way. In other news, former President Joe Biden attended the game and expressed his support for the Eagles, saying 'Go Birds, man, all the way.' The team will look to build on this momentum as they face the Commanders on Saturday in Landover, Maryland.
