Nfl, Eagles avalanche: “Hurts is our Michael Jordan”. Chiefs ok, but what a scare for Mahomes

Coach Sirianni is no longer in the skin and in front of dozens and dozens of microphones he shouts: “Jalen Hurts is our Michael Jordan!”. Difficult to blame him after the overwhelming victory of the Eagles over the Giants. It’s a fact that, outside the young quarterback, the Eagles looked unrecognizable; back from the injury, they are back to (stra)winning. And now they await the winner of San Francisco – Dallas, a great challenge.

In the other conference the Chiefs are ahead, but with some breathlessness also due to the ankle injury of his star, Patrick Mahomes, who went out for a few drives and then returned despite an evident difficulty in running. He limped throughout the bout. The physical conditions of the quarterback are simply decisive for the fate of Kansas City that awaits the winner between the Bengals and the Bills.

Unstoppable eagles

Ready to go and in Philadelphia they understand that Hurts is back in perfect or almost perfect condition after a shoulder injury. With a 7 out of 7 he immediately scores the match. But tight end Goedert is very good at grabbing one of his trajectories with one hand and transforming it in the first td of the day. From there on there is no more game. DeVonta Smith, Boston Scott and Hurts himself with a rush from him close the first half with a 28-0 which is already a condemnation sentence for the Giants.

But since nothing is impossible in football, New York tries in the second half. It hits. He wastes another chance and suffers Phila’s fifth touchdown of the day. It ends like this, with Hurts in triumph. Who reiterates: “We haven’t done anything yet…”.

Mahomes with a limp

Your team’s season can change in an instant if your leader suffers a serious injury. Imagine the Chiefs Nation’s anxiety when Mahomes’ ankle was trapped under the body of a Jaguars defender. And then the grimace of pain, the X-rays of the limb in the locker room, the certainty that there isn’t a fracture, Patrick’s strong will to play anyway, even if he is limping. The victory, by measure, against the tenacious Jaguars.

And the words of the KC leader: “It takes much more to keep me out of a game. Yes, I will do other exams but I can tell you right now that I will be there”. Word of Mahomes.
