NFL: Eagles beat Vikings as Colts improve to 6-1

Jalen Hurts turned in a masterful performance to lead Super Bowl champion Philadelphia past Minnesota, while Indianapolis improved to 6-1, the NFL's best record, by beating the Los Angeles Chargers in Sunday’s biggest games.

Jalen Hurts completed 19 of 23 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions, leading the Eagles to a 28-22 win over host Minnesota.

It was Jalen Hurts’ first 300-yard passing game in 22 games, coming more than a year after his last. He threw a 79-yard touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith and touchdown tosses of 26 and 37 yards to A.J. Brown.

The Eagles also scored on a 42-yard interception return 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."

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 previous two games, improved to 5-2, while 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 scores to lead the Colts past the host Los Angeles Chargers 38-24.

Taylor scored on runs of eight, 19, and 23 yards, while Jones threw touchdown passes of four yards to Michael Pittman and five yards to Tyler Warren.

Patrick Mahomes, a three-time Super Bowl champion and two-time NFL MVP, completed 26 of 35 passes for 286 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions in the Chiefs’ 31-0 home rout of Las Vegas.

Rams sweep at Wembley

Matthew Stafford threw five touchdown passes, three to Davante Adams, to lead the Los Angeles Rams past Jacksonville 35-7 at Wembley Stadium in London.
