After a tough three-game skid, the Eagles didn’t just get back in the win column-they made a statement. In front of former President Joe Biden, no less, Philadelphia blanked the Raiders 31-0 in a dominant performance that reminded everyone what this team is capable of when it finds its rhythm. And at the heart of it all was Jalen Hurts, who put together one of his most efficient outings of the season.
Hurts was nearly flawless before getting some well-earned rest late in the game. He completed 12 of 15 passes for 175 yards and three touchdowns, finishing with a passer rating of 154.9-just a whisker away from perfect.
It wasn’t just the numbers, though. It was the poise, the decision-making, the command of the offense.
This looked like the version of Hurts that had Philly buzzing not long ago.
Head coach Nick Sirianni didn’t mince words when talking about his quarterback after the game.

“He’s resilient. Always has been,” Sirianni said.
“Thought he was really good running the offense, being in command out there, just making good decisions with the football, good runs. He had a good game.”
And Sirianni’s right. Hurts’ performance wasn’t just about bouncing back-it was about taking control.
He looked calm in the pocket, sharp with his reads, and decisive when it was time to tuck and run. For a team that had been searching for answers after three straight losses, this was the kind of performance that can reset the tone in the locker room.
But make no mistake-this was a full-team effort. The defense pitched a shutout, the offense moved with purpose, and the energy was different from the opening snap.
You could feel it. The Eagles weren’t just trying to win-they were out to remind everyone who they are.
After the game, Sirianni kept things mostly internal when asked what he told the team. But he did share one key message: it felt good to win again.
“We will always keep those things in-house,” Sirianni said, “but one thing was it was good to get a win.”
The team’s social media gave fans a glimpse into the postgame locker room, sharing a clip of Sirianni talking about the emotional lift the win provided. His message? Joy and confidence aren’t something you wait for-they’re something you create.
“We had that joy and confidence,” Sirianni told his players. “What a great example of-you control your joy.
You control your confidence. What a great lesson for life?
Nobody else.”
Now, with momentum finally swinging back in their favor, the Eagles turn their attention to a divisional matchup against the Washington Commanders on Dec. 20. If Hurts and the offense can keep this level of execution going-and if the defense continues to play with this kind of edge-Philadelphia could be gearing up for a strong finish down the stretch.
This wasn’t just a win. It was a reminder. The Eagles are still very much in the fight.
