The Eagles’ thrilling 34–31 overtime win over the Bills may have been one of Week 12’s most exciting games, but the dramatics didn’t appear to have any effect on a locked-in Jalen Hurts during crunch time.
With Philadelphia trailing 31–28 with 20 seconds left in regulation, Eagles kicker Jake Elliott drilled a rain-soaked 59-yard field goal to even the score. As the home crowd went into a frenzy over Elliott’s heroics, CBS cameras captured a shot of a focused Hurts, trying his best to stay warm on the bench, watching the play unfold.
Given the situation, no one likely would’ve faulted the Eagles quarterback for showing a little emotion. But in this case, all Hurts could do was sport an emotionless look on his face and shake his head as he prepared to go win the game. And that’s exactly what he did.
