Jalen Hurts throws two touchdowns and runs for another in a 27-13 win over the Steelers

Jalen Hurts threw two touchdowns and ran for another as Philadelphia dominated Pittsburgh 27-13.

The Eagles went 12-2 while the Steelers fell to 10-4.

Pittsburgh also has injury concerns after edge rusher TJ Watt left the game late with an apparent foot injury.

The Eagles saw both running back Saquon Barkley and wide receiver AJ Brown get nabbed. Barkley, who needed 111 yards to stay on pace and break the NFL’s single-season rushing record, gained just 65 yards on 19 carries.

Brown, who complained about the passing game after last week’s game, had eight catches for 110 yards and a touchdown before exiting after being brought down by a hip drop tackle late in the game. DeVonta Smith caught 11 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown.

Hurts was 25 of 32 for 290 yards and two touchdowns. He ran for 45 yards and a brotherly shove touchdown on 15 carries, but lost a fumble on a strip sack by Watt.

The Eagles outscored the Steelers 401 to 163, including 224 to 83 in the second half. Philadelphia only led 17-13 at halftime.

Russell Wilson went 14 of 22 for 128 yards and a touchdown and was charged with a fumble when Najee Harris dropped a pitch. Harris had just 14 yards on six carries. Calvin Austin caught five passes for 65 yards.
