Eagles-Cardinals free live stream (12/31): How to watch online, TV time
Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles face the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, Dec. 31. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial and $20 off the first two months).
Hurts understood the optics that come with the Eagles looking defeated and on edge after a win that pushed them to the cusp of an NFC East title.
The Eagles are still in the hunt for a No. 1 seed in the NFC, though the No. 2 and at least one home playoff game is more in the cards for the defending conference champions.
Hurts, last season’s runner-up for MVP, has accepted the brunt of criticism for Philadelphia’s second-half malaise that included the losing streak, an admirable-yet-exhausting stretch of winning games from behind, and it needed to hang on until the last play to beat the Giants. Philadelphia led the Giants 20-3 at halftime but needed cornerback Kelee Ringo’s end zone interception in the final seconds to secure the victory.
Hurts is among the NFL leaders in turnovers with 18 (13 interceptions, including a pick-6 against the Giants, and five lost fumbles), yet his 15 rushing touchdowns are a record for a QB.
