The Philadelphia Eagles, with a record of 10-2, are one of the best teams in the NFL.
They have won eight consecutive games since their bye week and look like a real Super Bowl threat.
Pro Bowl quarterback Jalen Hurts has thrown just one interception in those eight victories, but former NFL wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson believes he is getting disrespected.
“Jalen Hurts doesn’t get respect, it feels like he gets constant disrespect,” Johnson said Tuesday on Fox Sports’s Speak.

The team was a bit of a mess before Hurts took over a couple of seasons ago.
But since he took over as the full-time starter in 2021, he has guided the team to playoff appearances each season and is about to do it again.
The former national champion has led the team to three consecutive seasons of 10+ wins and could help the team win its second division title in the last three years this year.
He has completed over 65% of his passes over the last three seasons and has proven himself to be a versatile playmaker on the ground (career average of 4.6 yards per rush).
Without Hurts performing at his current level, Philly would struggle.
The former Alabama and Oklahoma star has 26 total touchdowns this season with just five interceptions.
In a crowded race for the MVP award, Hurts deserves better recognition for his performance on the field for Nick Sirianni and Co.
