Jalen Hurts, Eagles tie record with 4th straight comeback win - ESPN
PHILADELPHIA — Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts continues to have a flair for the dramatic.
He scored four of his career-high five touchdowns after halftime in the Eagles' come-from-behind win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, including a 12-yard scoring run in overtime to end the game in walk-off fashion and send the Lincoln Financial Field crowd into a frenzy.
«It's a Jalen performance. There aren't too many guys that I've played with — probably nobody that I've played with — that's been more clutch down the stretch,» Eagles veteran center Jason Kelce said after the 37-34 victory. «He's been so good in crucial situations when things have to happen. That's a trait not to take lightly. I think if you look at most of the best players, it's a trait that they have to have.»
The Eagles tied the longest streak of comeback wins in a single season. They are only the fourth team in league history to win four straight games while trailing at halftime.
The 10-1 Eagles have trailed at halftime in each of their past four games and have found a way to come back and win all of them, which ties an NFL record.
Hurts has been a guiding force. He now has four game-winning drives on the season — doubling his career total coming into the campaign. He also has the second-best winning percentage after trailing by 10-plus points (.450) by starting quarterbacks since 1950, behind only Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs (.560).
«That's not for me to concern or roll with. I just try to go out there and play to the standard and be the best I can be for my team,» Hurts said of being so clutch. «There were times today I felt like I didn't do that, but when it mattered most, I felt like we did a good job of doing what we needed to do.»
