The Philadelphia Eagles have slid in the month of December. After owning the league’s best record several weeks ago, losses to the San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, and Seattle Seahawks have them reeling. Quarterback Jalen Hurts came under fire this week for interesting comments he made following the Eagles’ loss to Seattle earlier this week.
Hurts made comments about the Eagles and their commitment level right now. Those comments gained traction throughout the week, causing a bit of a stir. On Thursday, he clarified those comments.
Pro Football Talk wrote that Hurts said, “My mind was in a place of really just trying to challenge myself. When you think holistically about the things you want to accomplish and everything that we’re trying to do, that all runs through me; that all starts with me. And so when I say ‘we,’ I mean me because I’m the point guard out there. I’m the one that makes everything go. And I’m the guy that everyone trusts to set the pace for everything. That’s in how I play. That’s in my leadership. That’s in every aspect of the game, and it comes with the shoes that I walk in.”
The Eagles will look to right the ship this weekend when they take the field against the New York Giants.
