Jalen Hurts has opened up about Eagles’ defeat to the Chargers.
The Philadelphia Eagles took another gut-punch of a loss, this time courtesy of the Los Angeles Chargers, and of course everyone wanted to hear what Jalen Hurts had to say. And he said it. Calm and direct.
Hurts walked into the press conference looking like someone who has seen enough dropped passes, blown coverages, and questionable play-calling to last a lifetime. He spoke slowly. He spoke clearly. And admitted to not playing well enough.
“I knew it was going to be a tight-window throw,” Hurts said postgame of the last interception. “I’d have to watch the film to see it from the film’s point of view. Ultimately, it’s a play that I didn’t make. He got a hand on the ball and I didn’t make the play.
“That’s a play that we’ve made a million times in that scenario versus a cloud corner and I didn’t make that play this time around.”
Hurts owned up and took responsibility of the painful loss.
“That’s for everyone else to determine,” Hurts said. “For me, we lost the game and I didn’t play well enough to help us win the game. And so, I look at it like I look at every game in terms of win or loss — how I respond to what the game presented [in] itself. So, that’s my mentality.”
It wasn’t the result Eagles fans wanted. It wasn’t the performance Hurts wanted. But his message was steady: stay the course, stay locked in, and keep grinding.
