Overview

  • The future Hall of Famer said he respects Philadelphia’s results but called the attack “the most boring offense” during ESPN’s First Take on Tuesday.
  • Brees left Jalen Hurts off his early-season list of top quarterbacks, instead citing Jordan Love, Dak Prescott and Josh Allen.
  • Through three weeks the Eagles are first in red-zone efficiency and eighth in points and on third down despite ranking near the bottom in total and passing yards.
  • The much-scrutinized Tush Push remains a staple of their short-yardage success after a proposed ban was narrowly rejected by the NFL in May.
  • Hurts has completed 71.4% of his passes with no interceptions and seven total touchdowns as debates continue over the passing distribution, with Week 4 set at 3-0 Tampa Bay.
