Hurts Takes Accountability as Eagles Plot Fixes for Struggling Pass Game

Hurts voiced accountability, reflecting a staff focus on ball security over early-season risk.

Overview

  • The defending champions are 2-0 despite ranking near the bottom of the league in pass attempts, passing yards and passing touchdowns, with Jalen Hurts at 253 yards and no passing scores.
  • Kevin Patullo said the offense is trending the right way and will take downfield shots when game flow allows after two weeks with almost no intermediate attempts.
  • Kansas City blitzed Hurts on 64% of his dropbacks in Week 2, contributing to quick throws and only one pass beyond 15 yards in that game.
  • Next Gen Stats show strong formation tendencies — a league-high 95.8% run rate under center and 84.6% from pistol — drawing media criticism of Patullo as predictable.
  • Nick Sirianni has underscored turnover margin in the early plan, with Philadelphia yet to commit a turnover as it prepares for a tougher passing test against the Rams.
