It was a triumphant homecoming for Houston native Jalen Hurts in Week 9 as the star quarterback led the undefeated Eagles to a 29–17 victory over the Texans on Thursday Night Football.
Hurts completed 21-of-27 passes for 243 yards and two touchdowns to help Philadelphia secure to its first 8–0 start in franchise history. As the team made its way off the field, the strong contingent of Eagles and Hurts supporters in attendance at NRG Stadium serenaded the 24-year-old with “M-V-P” chants after yet another standout effort.
The dynamic QB showed his appreciation for the love by urging the crowd to get loud, waving his arms up and down while yelling “Turn Me Up!” as the crowd continued to boost the third-year pro.
