Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa faced off against each other in an NFL game for the first time Sunday night, and the two former Alabama teammates both enjoyed solid performances in a showdown between two of the best teams in the league.
Hurts and the Eagles got the victory at home, beating the Dolphins, 31-17, to improve to 6-1. The Dolphins fell to 5-2 with the loss.
The two QBs didn’t talk at all before the game, but moments after the final whistle, they found each other near midfield and shared a classy moment together.
This was pretty cool to see between two guys who have a lot of history together:
