On Sunday, he recorded his fourth 300+ yard passing performance against the Chicago Bears. He completed 22 of 37 pass attempts for 315 yards in a 25-20 victory for the Eagles. Hurts’ streak of consecutive games without an interception snapped at four as he tossed two picks versus the Bears. However, he posted a career-high three rushing touchdowns on 17 carries.
Hurts has the single-season record for rushing touchdowns (13) in franchise history.
