Jalen Hurts Breaks Quarterback Rushing Touchdown Record Amid 'Brotherly Shove' Mastery

IMG

Jalen Hurts showcased his remarkable athleticism on Christmas Day, benefitting from the Eagles' signature play, the 'Brotherly Shove.' The quarterback's 15th rushing touchdown of the season not only contributed to the win against the New York Giants but also set an all-time single-season record.

Hurts surpassed Cam Newton's previous quarterback single-season record of 14 rushing touchdowns, established during his rookie season with the Carolina Panthers in 2011.

Known for his dual-threat prowess, Hurts acknowledged the role of the 'Brotherly Shove' in achieving this milestone. Despite this success, the NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell, has expressed a desire to ban the unconventional play, setting the stage for potential changes in the upcoming offseason.

Already in his fourth NFL season, Hurts is climbing the all-time quarterback rushing touchdown leaderboard. With 41 career rushing touchdowns, he now sits in fourth place, trailing behind Cam Newton's 75, Josh Allen's 51, and Steve Young's 43.

As the Eagles approach the end of the season with two games remaining, Hurts has an opportunity to further solidify his place in history. The team's next challenge is a home game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, where Hurts will aim to extend his record-breaking performance amid ongoing scrutiny of the 'Brotherly Shove.'
