The Minnesota Vikings were unable to come out of Week 7 with a win over the Philadelphia Eagles. While it was a hard-fought game, the Vikings ended up falling to the defending champions and Jalen Hurts by a final score of 28-22.

The Philadelphia Eagles aren’t a normal defending Super Bowl champion when considering the fact that Nick Sirianni’s team is 5-2 as the NFL season nears its halfway point and yet there’s still plenty of weekly discussions about whether or not the national media trusts star quarterback Jalen Hurts to lead the franchise.

The NFL announced that Jalen Hurts is a nominee for one of this week’s FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week Awards after completing 19 of 23 attempts (82.6 percent) for 326 yards and three touchdowns with a 158.

Hurts peppered the Vikings' stingy defense with deep ball after deep ball to lead the Eagles to a 28-22 victory on Sunday, Oct. 19.

The Eagles' win over the Vikings wasn't enough to move them up in everyone's power rankings. Here's where they stand heading into Sunday's game against the Giants.

Previous mistakes from a previous Eagles affair lead to some much-needed and appreciated Jalen Hurts fireworks.

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson fights through a holding penalty and drops Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts for a 7-yard loss.

But at some point, especially in the third quarter, the Eagles have bogged down. That cost them with two losses the week of Oct. 5, when they blew a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter against the Broncos,
