PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Hurts is playing his best — just as he did in the Super Bowl — to at least revive his candidacy for NFL MVP headed into the second half of the season.

Hurts has thrown for 505 yards and seven touchdowns without an interception over his last two games. He had a perfect passer rating in a win over Minnesota. Hurts ranks third in the NFL in passer rating and, in more fan-friendly metrics, has thrown 15 touchdowns against just one pick this season.

Oh yeah, and Hurts, who also has five rushing touchdowns, keeps winning.

The reigning Super Bowl champions head into their bye tied for the most wins in the NFC at 6-2 and they beat Tampa Bay in September to give them an early edge in the race for the No. 1 seed. Green Bay is technically atop the conference at 5-1-1.
