Jalen Hurts sat there elbows on knees in dazed disbelief on the Eagles bench. His eyes were fixed at half-mast, after throwing three interceptions and holding the ignominious distinction of being the first Eagles’ quarterback to ever lose to the New York Jets.
This was bound to happen. With the depletion of the offensive line, due to injuries to Lane Johnson and Cam Jurgens, a depleted secondary without cornerback Darius Slay and losing safety Reed Blankenship during the course of the game, the sputtering offense, and Hurts running for his life on Sunday at MetLife Stadium led to the Eagles’ 20-14 loss.
