From the article

It was vintage playmaking by the still-fleet veteran, weaving his way through the defense to convert a first down when nothing was schemed open and his offensive line was leaking oil. And as in years past, it was Hurts' deep balls and ability to play out of structure that generated most of the offensive output.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Hurts' legs and deep ball were Eagles' primary offensive weapons in Week 1 escape.

Hurts remained the Eagles' primary offensive engine in Week 1, relying heavily on his legs and deep ball accuracy to generate offensive output. He converted a critical 3rd-and-18 with a 22-yard scramble in the 4th quarter when nothing was schemed open and the offensive line was struggling; the source notes this was 'vintage playmaking by the still-fleet veteran, weaving his way through the defense.' His deep balls and ability to play out of structure generated most of the offensive output, though the source also notes he occasionally dropped his eyes and watched the pass rush when his first read was taken away.
