Yahoo Sports NFL on Jalen Hurts
From the article
Hurts looking good while carrying the offense... Hurts converting 3rd-and-18 in the fourth quarter was a massive development... His first touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert... His touchdown pass to Dontayvion Wicks was a nice anticipatory ball... His completion to DeVonta Smith deep along the right sideline was a beauty.
STACKED’s take
Hurts' clutch fourth-quarter drive and three TDs show encouraging QB1 performance despite offensive struggles.
Hurts delivered an encouraging Week 1 performance despite the Eagles' offense struggling overall; he completed 14 of 25 passes (56%) for 203 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs, and a 122.2 passer rating while adding 7 carries for 46 rushing yards. The source highlights his clutch conversion on 3rd-and-18 in the fourth quarter as a massive development that sparked the offense after five consecutive drives yielded just 67 yards and three points. His three touchdown passes showcased aggression and accuracy: a tight-window seam throw to Dallas Goedert on 3rd-and-goal from the 17, an anticipatory deep ball to Dontayvion Wicks on a clear-out route, and a beautiful deep completion to DeVonta Smith along the right sideline. Despite an NFL-high 33% non-target rate (11 non-targets on 33 dropbacks due to scrambles, throwaways, and sacks), Hurts carried the offense through major protection issues that nullified the script.
