Eagles' Jalen Hurts Downplays Cowboys' Micah Parsons' MVP Comments, Focused on Bears

The Dallas Cowboys pass-rusher did for him what the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback didn't want him to do.

During a discussion with Von Miller on The Voncast, it was suggested that Hurts is more deserving of an NBA Most Valuable Player award because of Philadelphia's system and team.

Hurts told reporters that he was worried about the Bears in Week 15.

Jordan Mailata agreed with those feelings.

The Eagles and Cowboys will play on Christmas Eve in a game that could decide control of the division.

The Eagles beat the Cowboys in Week 6 and are two games up on them. The Cowboys will play a Christmas Eve game against the Hurts.

Even though Hurts didn't publicly disagree with the comments, he definitely internalizes them ahead of the next chapter in the rivalry.

In 13 games this season, the quarterback has completed over 70 percent of his passes for 3,157 yards, 22 touchdown and three interception, while adding 668 yards and 10 scores on the ground. After throwing for 22 touchdown to 13 picks in his first two seasons, he has taken tremendous strides and his team has the best record in the league.

There is something to say about the talent he has around him.

Everything has been simpler with the addition of A.J. Brown. When he draws double-teams, he opens up passing and running lanes for everyone else.

Defenses have to account for Hurts' legs as well as playmakers such as DeVonta Smith.

Quarterbacks will always benefit from having more talent around them, but it will be interesting to see how the Christmas Eve game goes.
