The New Orleans Saints took down the Philadelphia Eagles on the road Sunday, which now makes the NFC East title race an interesting one heading into Week 18.

The Saints (7-9) won their third straight game as they remain in contention for a playoff spot down to the final weeks under first-year coach Dennis Allen. That play set up one of two field goals by Wil Lutz in the first half that gave the Saints a 13-0 lead. Gardner Minshew had a pass intercepted by Lattimore late in the fourth that wrapped up a dreadful game for Hurts’ backup. Without their show-stopping QB, the Eagles were shut out in the first half for the first time this season.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts finally returned to practice on Thursday, but he's not quite ready to play yet. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Hurts will not start against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, but he could be available to play in Week 18. When will we see Hurts play again? But if the Eagles lose to the Saints, Hurts would need to start against the Giants in Week 18, since it will be their last and final chance to capture the No. Even with a week left before that game, the Eagles are already feeling good about Hurts.

Jalen Hurts is back at practice for the Philadelphia Eagles. He didn’t participate in everything, but the progress was a good sign for the Eagles with the playoffs just weeks away. It’s still unclear if Hurts will play on Sunday when the Eagles host the New Orleans Saints. "We'll continue to see how he progresses throughout the week," head coach Nick Sirianni said Wednesday of Hurts, via ESPN . This is the play Hurts was injured on in the third quarter.

With the Eagles' Super Bowl aspirations resting on Jalen Hurts' shoulder, playing him at less than full health is a gamble, Ralph Vacchiano writes.

Philadelphia Eagles @ Dallas CowboysDak Prescott and Gardner Minshew both played incredibly well, with Prescott finishing as this week's top fantasy QB. Minshew obviously lacks Jalen Hurts' fantasy upside and rushing ability, but he's a top-12 QB in this offense. In fact, Minshew’s 40 passes were more than Hurts has attempted in any game this season. In a week filled with poor weather and low scores, this game totaled 74 points and satisfied many fantasy managers during crucial Week 16 playoffs matchups. Atlanta Falcons @ Baltimore RavensThe Ravens are a fantasy mess with a split backfield and a dying offense that badly misses Lamar Jackson.

Pick your mistake for the Eagles' loss because there were plenty. Here's why A.J. Brown said he was glad it happened.

The Dallas Cowboys held off a late Philadelphia Eagles drive to hold off their rivals clinching the NFC East and No. 1 seed in their own house.

Saturday wasn't kind to the NFC East. But the NFL's best division still might get four teams in the playoffs, Ralph Vacchiano writes.

ARLINGTON, Texas — (AP) — Dak Prescott threw for 347 yards and three touchdowns, Brett Maher kicked the go-ahead field goal late and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles 40-34 on Saturday. Gardner Minshew threw two scoring passes and had a TD run filling in for the injured Jalen Hurts, but his second interception set up Maher's go-ahead kick. The Cowboys had to settle for Maher's fourth field goal after Miles Sanders fumbled on the first play of the Eagles' next possession. Needing a touchdown to win, Minshew got the Eagles to the Dallas 19-yard line with a 22-yard completion to DeVonta Smith, who had two touchdown catches. After spiking the ball to stop the clock, Minshew threw incomplete twice.

Dak Prescott threw for 347 yards and three touchdowns, Brett Maher kicked the go-ahead field goal late and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles 40-34.

The Philadelphia Eagle were thriving with Gardner Minshew on Saturday, but the Dallas Cowboys rallied for a Christmas Eve win over their division rivals to keep their slim NFC East hopes alive. The Eagles scored the game's first 10 points and led 27-17 in the third quarter with quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined with a shoulder injury. But the Cowboys scored 23 second-half points to secure a 40-34 victory capped off by a late defensive stand in the red zone.

This is the most heavily concentrated passing game in the league. However, we've seen of late that when the Seahawks' passing game isn't white-hot, the rest of the roster isn't ready to elevate the operation. It's hard to imagine the passing game getting back to its most efficient self if Tyler Lockett isn't on the field. Dobbins is still splitting carries with Gus Edwards and is flanked by a bad passing game that hasn't stopped him. The passing game might even be able to find some open lanes against this defense.

Earlier this week, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni was hesitant to rule out Jalen Hurts, but on Thursday he said a shoulder injury will force the MVP candidate to miss Saturday's game.

Because Thursday morning, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed: MVP-caliber quarterback Jalen Hurts will not start Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys. Gardner Minshew, instead, will get the nod. “Jalen Hurts is the toughest player I’ve ever been around.”Sirianni said of Minshew: “Gardner will be our guy and Gardner will be ready.”Eagles QB Gardner Minshew will start Saturday vs. Cowboys. This season, Hurts has raced to 3,472 passing yards, 22 touchdowns and five interceptions while completing 67.3% of his passes. With a win, the Eagles would clinch the division, the NFC’s top postseason seed and a first-round bye.

PHILADELPHIA — (AP) — Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is not expected to play Saturday because of a sprained right shoulder, putting Gardner Minshew in line to start against the Dallas Cowboys. “It’s looking like it’s going to be Gardner,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said Thursday.

Nick Sirianni, head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, would not rule out Jalen Hurts for Saturday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Hurts injured his shoulder in Week 15.

Even if Hurts doesn’t play Saturday when the 13-1 Eagles can clinch the NFC East and the No. “I do not put it past Jalen Hurts, I don’t put anything past Jalen Hurts as far as his physical and mental toughness,” Sirianni said Tuesday. “We will play him when he’s ready to play,” Sirianni said. When Jalen’s ready to play, he’s ready to play. “I think the best thing for me is being ready to play,” Hurts said.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts still has a chance he could play Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys.

Then news broke Monday afternoon that Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts may not play. The loss of any team’s starting quarterback hurts. That doesn’t factor in his rampant ground threat, Hurts’ 747 yards and 13 touchdowns rushing each most among NFL quarterbacks this season. The divergence is highly relevant for a Cowboys team that just allowed 192 rushing yards in a 40-34 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. "If we look at the Eagles," Parsons wondered, "is it Hurts or the team?"

PHILADELPHIA — (AP) — Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts suffered a sprained right shoulder and his status for Philadelphia's game at Dallas is uncertain, a person with knowledge of the matter told The Associated Press on Monday. The 24-year-old morphed into a serious NFL MVP candidate in his second season as a starter. Hurts has thrown 22 touchdowns and has 3,472 yards passing, and he has rushed for 747 yards and 13 touchdowns. Philadelphia's sensational season means the Eagles can play it safe and rest Hurts so he is ready for the playoffs. Now the Eagles likely will have to do the same as they prepare to play without Hurts.

Enjoying a big performance about 25 miles from his hometown of Yulee was something new for Henry. He managed just 13 yards as a rookie in 2016, followed by outings of 92, 57 and 44 yards in front of friends and family.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mike Glennon (2) throws a pass as he is rushed by Cleveland Browns defensive end Adrian Clayborn, left, during the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Nov. 29, 2020, in Jacksonville, Fla. (AP Photo/Phelan M. Ebenhack)JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Quarterback Mike Glennon is getting another start for the Jacksonville Jaguars even though Gardner Minshew is fully healthy. Coach Doug Marrone said Wednesday he’s sticking with Glennon at Minnesota (5-6) on Sunday. It probably helped that Glennon was solid in his first start since Week 4 of the 2017 season. Glennon didn’t have a turnover — the first time since the season opener Jacksonville played a clean game — and wasn’t sacked. “There’s no doubt that we are going to try to win every single game that we play,” Marrone said.

The unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers wound up relatively healthy for their game against the AFC North rival Cincinnati Bengals following a brush with the novel coronavirus. Defensive tackle Tyson Alualu is also back after missing a game with a knee injury.

Receiver Cooper Kupp, left tackle Andrew Whitworth and running back Darrell Henderson all were active after missing practices with injuries. Raiders: T Kolton Miller (ankle), DT Maurice Hurst (ankle), QB Marcus Mariota, RB Theo Riddick, G John Simpson, DT Daniel Ross.

That means that going into tonight’s Saints-Buccaneers showdown, home teams are 65-65-1 so far this season. That homefield advantage has largely been erased with sparse crowds or no fans at games because of the coronavirus pandemic. Las Vegas though has taken control on its first two drives of the second half. Neither had started an NFL game, but both have been in the league much longer than DiNucci. The Tennessee Titans already lost left tackle Taylor Lewan for the season, and now they are without left guard Rodger Saffold.

This was a victory the Detroit Lions probably needed more than they would admit. Detroit (2-3) made this one look easy, somewhat surprising considering the Lions had lost six straight in which they led by double digits. SOCIAL INJUSTICEAs they’ve done all season, players from Detroit and Jacksonville remained in their locker rooms for the national anthem. The Lions had 30 players lined up along the goal line for the anthem, with seven of them — including Stafford — taking a knee.

HOUSTON – Costly errors and an inability to take advantage of Houston’s mistakes gave the Jacksonville Jaguars another loss to a previously winless team on Sunday and left them in last place in the AFC South. “We’ve got to look in the mirror, re-evaluate and just find a way to win,” Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew said. Sidney Jones intercepted Watson twice, giving the Jaguars a boost on a day they played without three defensive starters because of injuries. It was recovered by Whitney Mercilus, who fumbled on the return, but the Texans pounced on the ball to keep it. Now the Jaguars are left searching for a way to get on track before they host the Lions next Sunday.
