For the first time in franchise history, the Philadelphia Eagles have started a season 8-0.
It was a lot more arduous going to get there than many expected, though, as the Houston Texans hung tough with the undefeated Eagles.
Nonetheless, quarterback Jalen Hurts and the Eagles eventually pulled away for a 29-17 win over the Texans on Thursday night.
While Houston running back Dameon Pierce provided promise for the future, Hurts and Philly provided further evidence the time is now for them as the QB had touchdown passes to A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert to pull away with the win.
