The Eagles are a Super Bowl-caliber team − with Hurts at quarterback. They're not with Gardner Minshew, which he made painfully clear Sunday in the Eagles' 20-10 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
The Eagles need a win to lock up the NFC East title and the top seed in the NFC playoffs, with the first-round bye that goes with it.
But the best remedy for Hurts is rest and rehab. So having five weeks from the time of his injury until his first playoff game, with the Eagles as the top seed, is a much better scenario than three weeks of rest and possibly playing at less than 100%. The Eagles' first three plays of the game, coming after the Saints opened the game with a 9-minute touchdown drive, went sack, sack, short completion. The Eagles punted.
On and on it went. The Eagles didn't get their first first down of the game until there were 12 seconds left in the first half, and they were trailing 13-0.
