There’s a stat that originated in CFB called Eckel Rate. It basically measures quality possessions by measuring sustained drives and field position. Let’s just say this isn’t a fluky score. You’re not going to see a team put up an NFL Playoff functionally perfect offensive rate in a Half very often. They’ve had 19 First Downs and converted 18 of them.
 
I don’t understand how you watch these running QBs completely transform Red Zone play and then not think you need one.
I mean I think it's two factors. I think it's FAR less effective if the running QB isn't the full-time guy. NFL d players have the speed to close.

And not to get homerish, but Hurts is pretty unique. Looking at a guy like Lamar or Murray. Amazing talents, but it's the mistakes...always handcuffing them.

Hurts has a "high football iq" in this capacity. Throws it away, slides, plays for the next down. none of that matters, if you can't actually produce, but when you can do both...hard to stop. Our coaches have just done a FANTASTIC job building an offense that Hurts can succeed in.
 
that ref must have hit Z button twice

I’d still be worried about the fact the eagles were tied with the Texans at halftime.
