Jalen Hurts takes pride in carrying the torch in the #Eagles’ legacy of Black quarterbacks.
In my recent sit-down with Hurts, he discussed his place in that tradition, and in doing so, ever-so-slightly broke his public hard shell. https://t.co/IFwEy27Rwp
Dameon Pierce took over the ball 36yards just before the two-minute warning. At the same time, Pierce ended the half with 88 yards and 13 carries. C.J. Gardener Johnson ambushed Mills and took the Philadelphia Eagles a lead over the Huston Texans by scoring a touchdown.
