PHILADELPHIA — All it took was one throw.
Jalen Hurts let it fly on his first pass of the game, and suddenly the unease that crept into that often worrisome Philadelphia sports psyche — Yeah, but how is his banged-up right shoulder, really? — seemed to dissipate.
Hurts’ shoulder was fine. No doubt about that.
With their star quarterback in complete control, the Philadelphia Eagles once again look like the team that was rarely challenged during an NFL-best 13-1 start this season.
Hurts threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score during a dominant first half, and the top-seeded Eagles overwhelmed the New York Giants 38-7 on Saturday night in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs.
