PHILADELPHIA − By now, after leading the Eagles to two Super Bowls in three seasons and to the playoffs in all four of his seasons as a full-time starter, Jalen Hurts should be revered like Patrick Mahomes is with the Kansas City Chiefs and Tom Brady was with the New England Patriots.

For example, the Eagles are facing the Cowboys in their season opener on Sept. 4. The Cowboys have two top wide receivers in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. It's easy to see DeJean lined up on the outside opposite Quinyon Mitchell to take one of those players in base defense.

Of course, the Eagles had answers with Jalen Hurts completing 17 of 22 passes for 221 yards as the Eagles took a 34-0 lead in the third quarter and cruised to a 40-22 win. And with the Chiefs focusing on Barkley, Hurts gained 72 yards on 11 carries.

Last season, Brown had 1,079 yards receiving. But he missed three games due to injury, plus the meaningless regular-season finale. In addition, the Eagles made running back Saquon Barkley the focal point of the offense as he became just the ninth player in NFL history to surpass 2,000 yards, finishing with 2,005.
