AAA Official Review: Victory Monday edition returns with Jalen Hurts' swag and a pivotal…

**Offensive line finds a way, even after Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens' injury**

Cam Jurgens played just 15 offensive snaps before exiting Sunday's win with a knee injury.

Brett Toth, who has started at left guard due to injury, was once again the next man up.

"Brett does a great job of just preparing throughout the week," said right guard Tyler Steen. "He's a really smart dude, so he knows all the calls and knows how to make all the points."

Toth solidified the line and helped keep Jalen Hurts upright as the quarterback threw for a season-high 326 yards and finished with just the third perfect passer rating of 158.3 in Eagles history.

"He's got so much swag. When he's in control, you can see it in the look in his eye," left tackle Jordan Mailata said. "My favorite play was that four-minute bomb to A.J. (Brown). I turned around, and he just locked in. I thought it was a great check by him. There's a look in his eye when he's in that mode."

The Eagles incorporated more plays from under-center to help keep the Vikings' blitz-happy defense at bay.

"I think it presents just different things for the defense to worry about," Steen said. "I think obviously we didn't have the success we wanted to have in the run game today, but I think eventually we can definitely get that going."

"I think it frees up the passing game a lot more," Mailata added. "You don't know if it's going to be a run. You don't know if it's going to be play-action, or you don't know if it's going to be a shot play. So I think it gives us versatility. Definitely helps us a lot up front with our angles."

"Different weeks call for different things, but that was a direction we wanted to go," Head Coach Nick Sirianni said of the under-center plays.

Mailata said the message after two straight losses was simple: "Just do your job up front. Whatever it takes to get the win."

And that, they certainly did, improving to 5-2 on the season. – Chris McPherson
