Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles have been steamrolling every team in the NFL. They have the best record in the league, having won 10 games and lost just 1 so far. They managed to beat Josh Allen and Co in overtime with a walk-off TD by Hurts.

Despite the Eagles playing football at such a high level, they are still being looked down upon and doubted by fans and analysts. However, Keyshawn Johnson of Fox Sports’ Undisputed on FS1 is not one who doubts the legitimacy of the Eagles.

Johnson praised Hurts and the Eagles for playing great football on both sides of the field. 

When it counted most, the Philadelphia Eagles delivered on both sides of the ball...that's championship football.

He cited the instance of the interception by James Bradberry from Stefon Diggs and praised his football IQ.

Understanding what the formation is and what they do...that's smart football.

The analyst then praised quarterback Jalen Hurts for his pass to Olamide Zaccheaus which he managed to throw by first scrambling and then finding him, or the final play of the game where he found his way to the endzone to close the game out, it was smart football and executed to perfection. The analyst complimented:

That's championship football.

Johnson went on to compare the Dallas Cowboys to the Eagles. 

If the Dallas Cowboys QB engineered plays like Jalen Hurts, we wouldn't be having this conversation all the time but Jalen Hurts is showing everyone why he is going to be in the MVP conversation.

Johnson believes if America’s team had a QB like Hurts, then they would be on a completely different level. His in-game awareness and chemistry with his teammates is the biggest reason behind the success of the Eagles.

When you look at all of what they were able to do against the Buffalo team, that's going to be a dogfight.

Jalen Hurts has been criticized this season as he has turned the ball over 14 times this season. This has been cited as a cause of concern but despite that, Hurts continues to win games for the team, his turnovers have not impacted his team’s record this season.

Heading into this season, the Eagles had the most amount of critics, as many thought of them as a one-hit wonder. Last season could not have been more successful for the team as they won 14 games and lost 3.

This season, they are 10-1 and in the following weeks; they have the San Francisco 49ers, their divisional rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, the Seattle Seahawks, the Giants, and the Cardinals. They are poised to have a better record than they did last season. The only question that remains is whether will they will finally be able to win the Super Bowl this year.
