While the Eagles are picking up speed at the right time, the Cincinnati Bengals are stuck in neutral, unable to get the offense and defense working in the same game. Hurts rushed for three touchdowns and passed for another TD, helping Philadelphia pound Cincinnati 37-17 to keep the Bengals winless at home this season in four attempts. "It's frustrating. You know, everybody deserves better," said Bengals head coach Zac Taylor. "You got great fans, great support, haven't done enough to reward them, haven't done enough to reward our players."Hurts was 16-for-20 passing for 236 yards. He also had 10 carries for 37 yards. Saquon Barkey rushed for 108 yards as Philadelphia (5-2) won for the fourth time in five games overall. The Eagles scored the last 20 points of the afternoon.<blockquote>“Second half wasn’t good enough," Taylor said. "Didn’t make enough plays. Lost the turnover battle. They scored on every possession in the second half.”</blockquote>Hurts' 1-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter capped an 85-yard march that ate up 7:37 of the clock, giving Philadelphia a 34-17 lead with 4 1/2 minutes left. That drive followed a Joe Burrow interception. <blockquote>"If we go down and score a touchdown on that drive then we're down three, we're still in it," said Burrow. "The interception was tough -- guy made a good play, I left it a little short. I would like to have that back, obviously. Then after that they go down and I believe they scored again. At that point then the game was pretty much over."</blockquote>Nakobe Dean then recovered a Mike Gesicki fumble, and Jake Elliott kicked a 47-yard field goal to help close it out."Didn't get on fourth down (turnover on downs), threw a pick and then we fumbled. It was those three drives really that put us behind," said Burrow. <img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=276wXU_0wOf9JTZ00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=276wXU_0wOf9JTZ00" width="648" height="365" >The Eagles piled up 397 yards on offense. Cincinnati (3-5) finished with just 58 yards rushing, continuing a season-long problem. Burrow was 26 for 37 for 234 yards and a touchdown.<blockquote>"I don't think (the 3-5 record) is indicative of what we are as a team," said Taylor. "Because I think the score is gonna reflect differently than how I feel about our guys and what opportunities we're gonna able to capitalize on. It's a disappointing day, there's no running from that."</blockquote><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=46pafy_0wOf9JTZ00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=46pafy_0wOf9JTZ00" width="648" height="365" >The Bengals had won two in a row, beating the Giants and Browns — the same teams the Eagles took down in their previous two games. They started the season 1-4 and were trying to get back to .500 against Philadelphia.<blockquote>"I think 10 wins usually gets you in (to the postseason)," said Burrow. "So we gotta win 7 out of 9. That's doable." </blockquote>"What I just told them team is, we're in a hole, a hole that I believe we can dig ourselves out of. We're just going to have to find a way to do that," said Taylor. What's going on?The Bengals have hammered on their need to start faster in games. On the first possession, it looked as if it might be their day.Their opening drive went 70 yards, took more than 10 minutes off the clock and ended with a 2-yard TD pass from Burrow to Ja'Marr Chase. Cincinnati was 5 for 5 on third down on the drive.But it stalled on its second drive, and Evan McPherson kicked a 27-yard field goal. Cincinnati managed only one more score — a 4-yard run by Chase Brown in the third — the rest of the way.Brown and Zack Moss had a combined 17 carries for 43 yards."We should feel more wins, we need to feel more wins," said Taylor. "We haven't done enough to do that for ourselves. That's on us. There's no finger pointing anywhere else. We gotta take accountability for that -- players and coaches. We're better than what our record indicates but your record is what your record is. We've earned that. We put ourselves in a bad spot, but it's not a spot that we can't get ourselves out of, and I know that we believe that. We're not even yet at the halfway point in the season, and so there's gonna be a lot of opportunity here. We just gotta stick together and keep working, find some wins, and string it together." InjuriesEagles: CB Darius Slay sustained a groin injury in the second half.Bengals: OT Orlando Brown went out with a right knee injury in the first half. ...
