Another week, another win for the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite a nice try by the Los Angeles Rams, Philadelphia exited SoFi Stadium with a 23-14 win on Sunday.

There are a few players, in particular, who deserve to be praised for their peformances in Week 5. Meanwhile, there's a couple others who didn't make much of an impact.

With that in mind, here are three studs and two duds from the Eagles' victory over the Rams.

Eagles Studs and Duds vs. Rams Week 5

Stud 1: Jalen Hurts

Jalen Hurts looked like his 2022 self on Sunday. The Pro Bowler finally resumed his true dual-threat ways against Los Angeles, regularly making plays as both a passer and rusher.

Aside from a third-quarter interception, Hurts had no troubles finding the holes in the Rams' vulnerable secondary. He completed 25 passes for 303 yards and one touchdown, leading this offense all afternoon long while the running backs were relatively quiet until late.

Speaking of the ground game, Hurts carried that attack as well. He racked up another 72 yards on just 15 attempts, including a touchdown on a "brotherly shove" as time expired in the second period. Hurts also had a huge 17-yard in the third quarter that eventually set up a field goal to grow Philly's lead to 20-14.

This is the kind performance Eagles fans have grown accustomed to seeing from the star QB. Coming off of two big outings, hopefully Hurts is finally settling in after a sluggish start to the year.
