Philadelphia Eagles star Jalen Hurts got a solid Week 2 QB grade for his performance against the Tennessee Titans.
Philadelphia Eagles star Jalen Hurts went 26/37 through the air for 264 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions against the Tennessee Titans.
He threw the game-winning touchdown to Darius Cooper with nine seconds left in regulation, helping the Eagles improve to 2-0.
Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report handed out his Week 2 QB grades on Monday and the NFL analyst gave Hurts a "B-."
"Jalen Hurts showed up when it mattered the most for the Philadelphia Eagles," Sobleski wrote. "Trailing by three in the fourth quarter, Hurts orchestrated a nine-play drive with under two minutes to play. The possession culminated with a three-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Darius Cooper. During the drive, Hurts completed six of eight pass attempts. He did so while playing behind a reworked offensive interior and very little output from the run game since Saquon Barkley suffered a shoulder stinger. Though the pair of interceptions thrown by the quarterback won't be forgotten, particularly when Hurts failed to recognized underneath droppers in both instances."
The Eagles are now 59-25 in the regular season with Hurts under center. They have been to two Super Bowls and won it all against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.
Titans defender Jeffery Simmons is one of the top players in the NFL. However, he made a rookie mistake before the Eagles game.
Simmons told reporters that the Titans need to make Hurts "be a QB" to win the game. Clearly, that quote aged like milk.
"I don't even think words can describe how much you have to manage as a quarterback in this league from a responsibility standpoint, and the weight that comes with the position," Hurts told reporters. "And the responsibility. And ultimately, you've got to keep the main thing the main thing throughout that."
Hurts has 467 passing yards, five passing touchdowns, two interceptions and 62 rushing yards through two games. The Eagles face the 1-1 Chicago Bears in Week 3. Caleb Williams may not play, so Philly could improve to 3-0.
