Jalen Hurts has captained the Philadelphia Eagles to 4-0 by utilizing an improved offense.

Yes, the defense is showing it can play at Super Bowl levels. But the name of the game is scoring the ball, which is something Hurts' has done a good job of ensuring.

The reason for the success is simple. It all boils down to execution.

"I'm big on execution," Hurts said to NFL.com. "I don't think there's one thing that goes into that. It's all-inclusive with the relationships you build, being on the same page with the play-caller, having the timing, having the right type of connections with the receivers, having Jason Kelce and being on the same page with him, me knowing what he's thinking and being able to override it when need be. Everybody being on the same page.

"Obviously, I touch the ball on every play, and I take great pride in that and the responsibility of making the right decisions to put the team in the right situations."

Hurts has excelled at making the right decision nearly all the time when he's on the field. He's minimized mistakes and made the game look easy.

Through Week 4, Hurts is fifth in the NFL in passing yards with 1,120. He also sits tenth in QBR at 60.7, and he boasts a 66.7% completion percentage.

On the ground, Hurts has amassed four touchdowns and 205 yards. People aren't calling him the early season MVP for no reason.

However, if you ask Hurts, he won't take all the credit. He knows that his success has boiled down to simple execution.
