The taste of defeat is bitter, especially in a city like Philadelphia. For the first time in over a calendar year, Jalen Hurts walked off the field a loser. An 18-game starting streak was snapped. It’s the kind of sting that sends a competitor searching for answers, even in the most familiar of places.
On Tuesday, Hurts revealed where he went looking. He dialed up a voice from his championship past. He reached out to his old college coach, the legendary Nick Saban. This wasn't a casual call. It was a quarterback seeking a spark, trying to transplant a winning mentality back into his team's core.
