The Eagles are flying high after their win over the Denver Broncos 30-13 in Denver. Quarterback Jalen Hurts had 178 passing yards on 16 of 23 with two touchdowns and an interception. The 2020 second-round pick also had 55 yards on the ground, including a run of 31 yards. Running backs Jordan Howard and Boston Scott ran for over 80 yards, combining for 164 yards rushing. Wide receiver DeVonte Smith was at the receiving end on both of Hurts’ touchdown passes.
Eagles last win at home was 11 months ago against the Saints
It was also Jalen Hurts first NFL start and first NFL win
How is he different now facing Saints again

New Orleans Saints vs. Philadelphia Eagles Prediction
In this game, a matchup to look out for is the Eagles rushing offense against the Saints rushing defense. The Eagles average the third-most rushing yards a game at 144.5 yards, while the Saints allowed the fewest rushing yards at 72.9. Trevor Siemian is without two starting OT’s but the Eagles have the fourth-lowest number of blitzes at 63. If DT Fletcher Cox, who leads the team with six sacks, gets into the backfield, it might be a long day for that Saints offensive line.
Prediction: The Eagles will win behind the play of their defense.
