Jalen Hurts put up a rough stat line on Monday Night Football against the Chicago Bears, completing just 16 of his 25 passes for a mere 153 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception in Week 3. This was not the prime-time performance anyone wanted to see from the Eagles’ star quarterback.
That Dismal Offense Masked by a Win
It was a tough look, seriously. Aside from a couple of genuinely crisp drives early in the second quarter, the Eagles’ offense was straight-up dismal. One of those better drives even saw Hurts take a hit along the sidelines, sending him to the medical tent for a bit. The Bears defense, while known for forcing turnovers, isn’t exactly famous for locking opponents down, so this performance really stands out.
Early Wins Can’t Hide the Early Struggles
Yeah, the Eagles are 2-1 to kick off the year, but let’s be real, they have *not* been impressive offensively. It’s frustrating to watch when you know what this team *can* do. Hurts did scramble four times for 25 yards and actually punched in a touchdown himself on the ground, so he’s still finding ways to get it done. He’s made enough plays each week, even through these rough patches, to keep his QB1 value in your lineup. You gotta trust he’ll turn it around, right?
So, even with the passing game sputtering, Hurts is still QB1. Philly has a lot to figure out on offense if they want to live up to expectations, but you can’t count out a guy who keeps finding a way to get it done. Keep him in your lineup and let’s see what Week 4 brings. They need to clean this up, fast.
