There were some rumors that the Eagles locker room was not united. Their WR AJ Brown signed a 3-year $96 million contract extension in April this year. But some claimed that he and Jalen Hurts had some differences. It all but came true during the week 15 matchup against the Steelers.
The receiver was all pumped up after the 27-13 win. While talking to reporters, he said, “That was like, that was our moment to tell everyone to shut up, honestly.” At 1:13 mark in the 1st quarter, Brown converted a 5-yard pass from the QB into a touchdown. And they celebrated it together with a choreographed dance. That was sweet and amazed everyone. Now everyone knows that the team is going all-in.

As far as the team goes, their season has been amazing. After their bye week (5th), they have won all the 10 games. Their dominance was praiseworthy as they kept the possession for almost 2/3rd part of the game (39 minutes 52 seconds). It paid off in the end.
While talking to Erin Andrews on the sidelines after the game, the quarterback praised the god. When she asked Jalen Hurts about his mindset going into the game, he said, “I leaned all my faith. I leaned all my work. All I can is thank the man above in any moment, through the good, the bad, the joys, and the pains of life.” He was truly humble there.
However, he had a completely opposite approach while talking about other teams in the NFL which doubted them. They are becoming a force to reckon.
