Overview

  • Verse, a Rams linebacker, publicly rejected claims that Hurts is only a runner and affirmed his throwing ability, per the Los Angeles Times.
  • The Eagles beat the Rams 33-26 in Week 3, erasing a 19-point deficit to stay unbeaten.
  • Hurts delivered 204 yards and three touchdowns in the second half, including a fourth-and-goal strike to DeVonta Smith with under two minutes left.
  • Despite praising Hurts, Verse made impact plays in the loss, recording a third-quarter strip-sack and six tackles with two for loss.
  • Through Week 3, Hurts has 479 passing yards with a career-best 71.4% completion rate, with Philadelphia’s strong run game limiting his passing volume.
