I mean because hurts is a mobile QB who can run, why limit that which is what he's good at.Most QBs can’t function without a running game and hurts is no different; the eagles were ok at best last year and got hammered in the playoffs; difference this year is good defense and the offensive player of the year!!!!
Saquon said hurts being a threat to run have open things up for him to get all those yards.
When the passing wasn't working, it was only right to use the run game which worked in their favor.
