Why It Matters: Hurts had to throw often this week since the Eagles were without their top two running backs and also lost Will Shipley during the game. He was able to throw for at least 200 yards in three of his five games this season and has three touchdowns in the last two games. He will be facing the Carolina Panthers next week and can be a low-end No. 1 quarterback.
