Jalen Hurts looked every bit the part of a franchise quarterback in a 32-6 blowout win against the Atlanta Falcons. Though it is only fair to point out Hurts was going up against extremely clueless Atlanta defenders who often appeared unaware they were supposed to guard the opposing receivers.
Hurts was accurate and efficient though he was often throwing to targets with yards of space away from the nearest defender.
