Overview

  • On ESPN’s First Take, Drew Brees said he “can’t stand to watch” Philadelphia’s attack and labeled it “the most boring offense.”
  • Brees still said the Eagles can “absolutely” win a Super Bowl, even as he questioned the entertainment value of their approach.
  • He omitted Jalen Hurts from his early-season standouts at quarterback, citing Jordan Love, Dak Prescott and Josh Allen instead.
  • Through three games, Philadelphia ranks 27th in total offense and 29th in passing yards but is first in red-zone touchdowns and eighth in points and third-down rate.
  • The Eagles’ efficiency features frequent use of the controversial Tush Push, a play the NFL declined to ban in May, while Hurts has completed 71.4% of his passes with no interceptions and seven total touchdowns.
