Jalen Hurts Throws Eagles Teammates Under the Bus After Seahawks Loss
The Eagles experienced a shocking defeat against the Seahawks during Monday Night Football, allowing Seattle to mount a remarkable comeback and handing Philadelphia its third consecutive loss. The loss was particularly disheartening for the Eagles, who are now 10-4, especially considering that Jalen Hurts played despite battling illness. However, his late interception dealt a significant blow to Philadelphia’s aspirations, leading to a visibly unhappy Hurts after the game. Surprisingly, Hurts made some unconventional remarks that appeared to place blame on his teammates.

When pressed for clarification on his statement, Hurts stumbled, mentioning he doesn’t have access to a dictionary. This uncharacteristic slip from the normally composed Hurts raises significant questions for the Eagles going forward.
Hurts’ performance in the game was subpar, completing only 17 of 31 passes for 143 yards with two interceptions. Despite contributing 82 yards and two scores on the ground, factors such as his illness and adverse weather conditions likely played a role in his challenging day through the air, adding disappointment to the overall outcome.
With an upcoming matchup against the New York Giants on Christmas, the Eagles have an opportunity for a win. However, their chances of securing the No. 1 seed are diminishing rapidly, making a decisive victory crucial.
