Jalen Hurts has 3 TDs, Eagles come back to beat Washington

PHILADELPHIA: Nick Sirianni yelled at Jalen Hurts on the sideline for being careless with the ball and losing a fumble. Then the Philadelphia Eagles coach saw his starting quarterback hold on tight to carry the team on his shoulders.

Hurts ran for two touchdowns and threw for another, helping the Eagles come back from an early deficit to beat virus-ravaged Washington 27-17 Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) in a critical showdown with NFC playoff implications.
