Rough Night for Jalen Hurts; Should We Worry?
The national media might want to focus on how the Eagles "just keep winning." But their continued offensive struggles definitely matter for plotting out our fantasy lineups at least. QB Jalen Hurts endured a tough Week 10 outing against the Packers, coming off the team's bye. He completed just 15 of 26 passes for 183 yards and a TD. Hurts amassed 42% of that yardage on just two plays: the 36-yard, fourth-quarter TD toss to WR DeVonta Smith and a 41-yard catch-and-run by RB Saquon Barkley (also in the fourth quarter). The TD marked a nice connection between QB and stud WR. The Barkley play was a swing pass that found a lot of open field and got a boost from Barkley's stellar spin move on the first attempted tackler. Hurts added 27 yards on five rushes. Just two of those came on designed runs, despite the Eagles displaying an intentional run lean coming out of the bye.
