He isn't exactly the loudest guy in the room. If you’ve ever watched a Jalen Hurts post-game press conference, you know the drill: stoic, focused, and enough "the main thing is the main thing" quotes to fill a self-help book. But in 2025, his play did all the screaming for him.
The Philadelphia Eagles finished their 2025 regular season with an 11-6 record, clinching the NFC East and silencing a lot of the noise that followed their late-season collapse back in '23. Honestly, looking at the Jalen Hurts 2025 stats, it’s clear we are seeing a matured version of the dual-threat prototype. He isn't just a "running quarterback" anymore. He’s a guy who has figured out how to manipulate a pocket while still keeping that "Brotherly Shove" threat in his back pocket.
Breaking Down the Air Attack: The Passing Growth
For years, the knock on Hurts was his consistency as a pure passer. Can he go through the progressions? Does he bail on the pocket too early? In 2025, those questions felt kinda dated.
Hurts finished the regular season with 3,224 passing yards. Now, that might not look like Patrick Mahomes' Madden numbers on paper, but you've got to look at the efficiency. He threw 25 touchdowns against just 6 interceptions. That 4:1 ratio is elite. Period. His passer rating sat at a cool 98.5, reflecting a season where he took care of the football better than almost anyone in the league.
What really stands out is his completion percentage of 64.7%. This wasn't just dinks and dunks to A.J. Brown. He was hitting the deep shots when they were there, but more importantly, he was taking the "boring" five-yard gain instead of forcing a turnover.
Key 2025 Passing Highlights:
- Touchdowns: 25 (Passing)
- Interceptions: 6 (A career-best for a full season)
- Completion Rate: 64.7%
- Average Yards Per Attempt: 7.1
The Ground Game: Is the "Tush Push" Still Real?
You can't talk about Jalen Hurts without talking about his legs. It's basically half the experience of watching an Eagles game. In 2025, he wasn't asked to carry the ball 150 times like he was in 2023, and that’s probably a good thing for his longevity.
He ended the year with 421 rushing yards on 105 carries. While the yardage is lower than his 600+ yard seasons of the past, the "vulture" efficiency in the red zone remained. He punched in 8 rushing touchdowns.

Critics love to moan about the "Tush Push" (or Brotherly Shove, depending on how much you love Philly), but it remained the most statistically certain play in football throughout 2025. When the Eagles needed a yard, Hurts got the yard. It’s a stat that doesn't show up in a "yards per carry" column but absolutely shows up on the scoreboard.
The 2025 Season: Game-by-Game Nuance
It wasn't all sunshine and cheesesteaks. The Eagles had some weird stretches. Take the Week 14 loss to the Chargers—Hurts went 21-for-40 with zero touchdowns and a fumble. It was ugly. People started the "is he regressing?" tweets immediately.
But then look at Week 15 against the Raiders. 175 yards and 3 touchdowns on just 15 attempts. That's a perfect example of his 2025 vibe: doing exactly what was required to win without chasing personal accolades.

Performance Splits to Consider
- Against the NFC East: He dominated. The Giants and Commanders both felt the brunt of a quarterback who knows his division rivals' tendencies better than they do.
- Red Zone Efficiency: Hurts remained a top-5 QB in red zone EPA (Expected Points Added), mostly because defenses have to account for his ability to run even when he's looking to pass.
- The Buffalo Win: Week 17 saw a gritty 13-12 win over the Bills where Hurts only threw for 110 yards but didn't commit a single turnover in a freezing rainstorm. That's the stuff that wins titles.
Why These Stats Matter for the Future
The most important "stat" for Hurts in 2025 wasn't his yards or his touchdowns—it was his 16 games played. After dealing with some knicked-up seasons previously, staying on the field for nearly the entire stretch was huge. It allowed the offense to find a rhythm that they lacked in the previous two winters.
He’s 27 now. He’s in that sweet spot where the physical tools are still there, but the mental side of the game has caught up. He isn't just reacting to the blitz; he’s anticipating it.
Actionable Insights for Fans and Analysts
If you're looking at these stats for fantasy or just to win an argument at the bar, here’s the takeaway. Don't value Hurts based on 4,500-yard passing seasons. That’s not what the Nick Sirianni/Kellen Moore offense is designed to do. Value him on efficiency and total touchdowns.
With 33 total touchdowns (25 passing, 8 rushing) in 2025, he remains a top-tier asset. The low interception count (6) suggests he’s finally mastered the "hero ball" instinct that used to plague him.
To really understand his impact, keep an eye on his "Success Rate" on third downs next season. In 2025, he was among the league leaders in converting 3rd-and-short, which kept the Eagles' defense off the field and exhausted opposing linebackers. The 2025 season proved that Hurts is no longer a "system quarterback" or a "running threat"—he's just a winner.
Next Steps for Evaluation: * Compare his 2025 interception rate against other high-volume rushers like Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson.
- Review the Eagles' 2026 strength of schedule to see if his efficiency is sustainable.
- Watch his pocket movement in the Week 16 Commanders game—it’s a masterclass in subtle slide-steps.
