Jason Kelce and Jalen Hurts both felt that the Philadelphia Eagles, who won over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football to move to 2-0 in the NFC East, still have a lot of room to grow.
The Eagles were viewed as heavy favorites to make the Super Bowl going into the 2023 season. Led by Kevin Kelce, their offensive line dominated the Vikings up front, earning a victory that was much more comfortable than the scoreline indicated. The Eagles traded for running backe D’Andr Swift from the Detroit Lions, and he ended up with 175 yards of rushes out of a team total of 259 yards on the ground.
Hurts and Kelce cautioned their NFL rivals that despite Philadelphia’s offensive dominance, there is still more to come and there are still many areas for improvement. It’s definitely bad news for other teams hoping to challenge the Eagles for a Super Bowl berth in the NFC.
Despite not playing at his peak, Hurts managed to lead the Eagles to victory once more, rushing for 35 yards and two touchdowns and throwing for 193 yards and one more. To talk about the performance, the quarterback and Kelce joined the post-game show on Amazon Prime Video.
Hurts stated, “The O-line did a hell of a job tonight. In reality, all we want to do is win. “We’ll keep improving as a team and learning more because 250-something rushing yards is crazy.”
“Obviously as an offensive line you aways love it when you’re getting the run calls, and we were really happy to be able to assert our will,” Kelce said, expressing agreement. You got the impression that it would just keep piling up throughout the game.
