The New England Patriots’ defense has a tall task ahead of it, opening the season against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Philadelphia had one of the NFL’s most dynamic offenses a season ago.
Franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts played a big part in that, and unsurprisingly he has been a major talking point for the Patriots leading up to week one. Bill Belichick heaped praise onto Hurts, calling him “arguably the best player in the league.”
In an interview with Steve Burton, Patriots safety Adrian Phillips talked about matching up against Philadelphia’s offense. Once again, Hurts was at the forefront of the conversation.
