PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Hurts rolled over, face down, and grabbed his helmet.
The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback's head was spiked into the turf by Washington linebacker Frankie Luvu in the second quarter and bounced off the ground. Hurts was evaluated for a concussion — “I guess I beat the protocol,” he quipped — and stayed in the game.
Hurts ran for the go-ahead score, Saquon Barkley rushed for 146 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns, and the Eagles stretched their lead in the NFC East with a 26-18 win Thursday night over Jayden Daniels and the Commanders.
“Really,” coach Nick Sirianni said, “what we talked about at halftime was this was going to be a grimy, gritty game.”
