Things are going from bad to worse for the Philadelphia Eagles.
After star wide receiver A.J. Brown had to leave the game with a knee injury, quarterback Jalen Hurts caught social media's attention with his grotesque looking middle finger that came as a result of hitting his finger on the hand and helmet of a New York Giants pass rusher.

Hurts was shown on the sidelines seemingly unable to bend the finger, which he held extended while moving the rest of his hand:

At the end of the first half, Marcus Mariota replaced Hurts for the Eagles' final possession, throwing an interception. Mariota also started the second half at quarterback for the Eagles, who are currently vying for the No. 2 seed in the NFC and the NFC East title, which they could claim with a win over the Giants plus a Cowboys loss to the Commanders.
