Although they had a decent season last year, no one could have predicted the Eagles would become Super Bowl contenders behind an inexperienced quarterback and a second-year head coach.
Despite the disappointing end to the season, there were good signs to go off for the 2017 Super Bowl winners.
After Thursday's victory over the Texans and setting a franchise-best start to the season, Hurts was in no mood for getting ahead of himself.
"I know it's special for the city of Philadelphia," Hurts, who has at least thrown two touchdowns in the last three games, told reporters.
After such a start, many are penciling in the Eagles to come out of the NFC conference and challenge in Super Bowl LVII in Arizona.
