Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts didn't let flu-like symptoms keep him from starting on Monday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks. 

He also didn't let the body aches keep him from rushing the ball for two touchdowns. 

And with his second rushing touchdown of the night on a one-yard "tush push" play, Hurts made NFL history by tying Cam Newton for the most rushing touchdowns (14) in a season by a quarterback. 

His 14th rushing touchdown of the 2023 season marks his 40th rushing touchdown of his entire NFL career so far. That total makes him just the sixth quarterback in league history to have 40 rushing touchdowns.

Hurts still has three more matchups to break Newton's 2011 record.
