Jalen Hurts Continues Record-Setting Pace, Dominating NFL Quarterback Statistics

Jalen Hurts has maintained an elite level of play for the second consecutive week, earning a special stats column for his exceptional performance. Through eight games, Hurts boasts a 70% completion rate with 15 touchdowns and only one interception, a statistical achievement previously matched by only Drew Brees in 2018 among quarterbacks with similar numbers. His 114.4 passer rating is the highest ever for an Eagles quarterback after eight games. Hurts has tied Aaron Rodgers' NFL record with 12 consecutive home games without an interception (minimum 20 attempts). He has thrown just two interceptions in his last 26 games, the fewest ever by a starting QB in such a span, and only one in his last 354 passes, with only two in his last 527 attempts since Week 4 last year, making him the only quarterback in history with two or fewer INTs in any 500-pass span. In his last two games, Hurts completed 79% of his passes for 507 yards with seven touchdowns and no interceptions, a first for an Eagles QB and an achievement shared by only seven other NFL legends including Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. His 155.2 passer rating over these two games is the second-highest by an Eagles QB in a two-game span. Hurts' career record stands at 52-22 in 74 starts, placing him among the winningest quarterbacks early in their careers. He has also thrown seven touchdowns with nine or fewer incompletions in his last two games, a rare feat. Hurts is the first Eagles quarterback in 77 years to throw four touchdowns on 20 or fewer passes. His combined 159 passing and rushing touchdowns in 79 starts rank him fifth all-time. His career interception ratio has improved to one every 56.0 attempts, moving him to fifth all-time, surpassing Russell Wilson and Tom Brady.
