An 18-game streak vanished last Sunday. For over a calendar year, Jalen Hurts had known only victory. That feeling was suddenly silenced. The echo in Philadelphia is a strange, unfamiliar silence. It’s the quiet of a quarterback’s house after a defeat. And the mood inside must be palpable.
Hurts faced the media on Tuesday. He delivered the headline himself. “Thank God it's a short week,” he stated. Then he offered the raw, revealing truth. “Tough week in my house.” This was more than a soundbite. It was a window into the soul of a competitor.
