What the Eagles are saying after a 35-13 win over Steelers in Week 8
The Eagles are 7-0 and headed to Houston with the Phillies undefeated after a 35-13 win over the Steelers at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.
Jalen Hurts finished with 285 yards and four touchdowns, including three to star wideout A.J. Brown.
Brown had six receptions for 156 yards, and Philadelphia will face the Texans on Thursday night giving the team a short week before another mini-bye.

Philadelphia’s star right tackle doesn’t watch SportsCenter or listen to the experts.
“I don’t listen to how good we are. I don’t watch SportsCenter. Usually I’m going into the building and Stout [Jeff Stoutland] is on us 24/7.”

Hurts is dropping the dual threat moniker, calling himself a triple threat.
Jalen Hurts said he's not a dual-threat QB; he considers him a "triple-threat" QB.
Hurts: "You have to be able to kill them with your legs at times, make the throws when you need to in the passing game, and kill them with your mind and with what you see and how you react."
