Insane Hurts and Elliott numbers dominate this week’s Roob’s Eagles Stats originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
We’re going to be heavy on Jake Elliott and Jalen Hurts in this week’s Roob’s Eagles Stats. Because they both turned in historic performances Sunday in the Eagles’ overtime win vs. the Bills and the numbers are mind-blowing
We’ll start with Hurts and move on to Elliott and work in a few other Eagles eye-opening numbers, stats and trends along the way.
1. Hurts became the first Eagles quarterback with four touchdowns in a second half in 13 years and the fifth all-time. Michael Vick did it against the Giants in that crazy 38-31 comeback win at the Meadowlands in 2010 – two TD passes to Jeremy Maclin and one to Brent Celek and TD run.

Randall Cunningham threw two second-half TDs to Keith Jackson and one each to Cris Carter and Mike Quick. Also Adrian Burk of all people did it twice in 1954 – both in wins over Washington .
2. Hurts is now 33-12 in 45 career starts. Only six quarterbacks in NFL history had a better record after 45 starts: Daryle Lamonica [39-6], Patrick Mahomes [37-8], Lamar Jackson [36-9], Ken Stabler [35-10], Kurt Warner [35-10] and Dan Marino [34-11].
3. Hurts’ game-winning 12-yard TD run is the 3rd-longest overtime rushing touchdown in history by a quarterback. Michael Vick – then with the Falcons – had a 46-yarder against the Vikings in 2002 and another former Eagle, Vince Young, had a 39-yarder for the Titans in 2006 against the Texans. Hurts now has 11 career multiple-touchdown games, 2nd-most in Eagles history behind only Steve Van Buren. Hurts also broke a tie with Cam Newton for most multiple-TD games ever by a quarterback. Nobody else has more than seven. Hurts became the first quarterback ever with three straight seasons with double-digit touchdowns (he was already the first with two straight). And he tied…
