The man knows how to get in.
Minshew made his first start for the Philadelphia Eagles, going 20-of-25 for 242 yards and two touchdown, and led the Eagles to a 33-18 victory over the New York Jets.
The offense scored on each of its first seven drives under Minshew, who posted a perfect 158.3 quarterback rating in the first half while matching Donovan McNabb for highest first-half completion rate (93.3%) by an Eagles quarterback since 1991.
Minshew likes debuts. In his first start for the Jacksonville Jaguars, he completed 81% of his throws. He went 19-of-20 in his first start for a 98% completion rate.
His performance is going to make a big deal in Philadelphia. The expectation is that Hurts will get the starting job once healthy. Hurts was a limited participant in practice this week after hurting his ankle. The Eagles have a bye this week and will play the Washington Football Team on December 19th.
Minshew got off to a great start, going 3-for-3 for 61 yards on the Eagles' opening drive, with all three of those completions going to Dallas Goedert. Minshew and Goedert connected for 36 yards.
He finished the first half 14-of-15 for 188 yards with two touchdown and a perfect first-half quarterback rating.
Minshew was acquired by the Eagles for a sixth-round pick. He has 39 touchdown to 11 interception in 41 starts.
The Eagles' playoff chances went from 25% to 30% after the win Sunday.
