Jalen Hurts has the Philadelphia Eagles on a three-game winning streak after Sunday’s victory over Cincinnati.

Philadelphia picked up a 37-17 win over the Bengals, improving to 5-2 on the season. Hurts has not thrown an interception in four consecutive games, but this is the third straight game where has accomplished the feat and the Eagles won. The native Texan recorded four touchdowns — including three rushing scores — and completed 80 percent (16 of 20) of his passes for 236 yards.

He launched a beautiful, 45-yard bomb to wide receiver DeVonta Smith for a touchdown.

The Alabama football connection between Hurts and Smith continues to make wonderful music.
