CINCINNATI — Jalen Hurts rushed for three touchdowns and passed for another TD, helping the Philadelphia Eagles pound the Cincinnati Bengals 37-17 on Sunday for their third consecutive victory.
Hurts was 16-for-20 passing for 236 yards. He also had 10 carries for 37 yards.
Saquon Barkey rushed for 108 yards as Philadelphia (5-2) won for the fourth time in five games overall. The Eagles scored the last 20 points of the afternoon.
Hurts' 1-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter capped an 85-yard drive that ate up 7:37 of the clock, giving Philadelphia a 34-17 lead with 4 1/2 minutes left.
Nakobe Dean then recovered a Mike Gesicki fumble, and Jake Elliott kicked a 47-yard field goal to help close it out.
