The Japan Times - NFL Eagles soar over Vikings while Colts improve to 6-1

Hurts completed 19-of-23 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns without an interception to inspire the Eagles over host Minnesota 28-22.

It was the first 300-yard passing game in 22 games over more than a year for Hurts, who threw a 79-yard touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith and touchdown tosses of 26 and 37 yards to A.J. Brown, who caught four passes for 121 yards.

The Eagles also had a 42-yard interception return touchdown by Jalyx Hunt.

"We found ways to play good ball and we made big-time plays when we needed to," Hurts said. "Defense played a hell of a game. Getting a defensive touchdown is big.

"For us it's just continue to capitalize on those opportunities. We've still got a lot to clean up. We just want to continue to push ourselves."

Smith caught nine passes for 183 yards.

"He had a hell of a game, probably a career day," Hurts said.

The Eagles, who had lost their two prior contests, improved to 5-2. The Vikings fell to 3-3.

"We're still trying to build. We're still trying to figure things out," Hurts said. "Ultimately, when we're in a position to play for the things we desire to in this organization, it will be about finding ways to win. Nobody will care how it looks."

Indianapolis quarterback Daniel Jones threw for 288 yards and two touchdowns and Jonathan Taylor ran 16 times for 94 yards and three touchdowns to power the Colts over the host Los Angeles Chargers 38-24.
