Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is your NFC Offensive Player of the Week following a solid performance against the Washington Commanders in Week 8. 

It's his first POW award for this season and his third one altogether. 

Hurts completed 29 of 36 passes for 318 yards and four touchdowns, including one to Julio Jones, as he led the Eagles to 38-31 win over the Commanders.

Even while battling through a knee injury, Hurts has been spectacular this season, completing a total 193 of 282 passes, for 2,140 yards with 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions. 

The Eagles have had three other players win the POW honor this season, including Jake Elliot (Week 1 & Week 4), D'Andre Swift (Week 2), and A.J. Brown (Week 7). 

With a lot of thanks to Hurts, the Birds are the only 7-1 NFL team in the league right now. 

They will look to extend their record when they take on the 5-2 Dallas Cowboys in Week 9.
