Jalen Hurts was sacked six times on the afternoon, and the star quarterback committed another turnover (fumble), as Philadelphia could not sustain any offensive consistency without the big three in the lineup.
Philadelphia will head into the Week 5 bye with a 2-2 record after a disastrous 33-16 loss to the Buccaneers. The Eagles exited the first quarter with zero yards of total offense. Following the second loss to Tampa in a year, Hurts took responsibility for the lackluster performance.
“Overall I just have to play better…It starts with me in getting the end zone and leading drives and I didn’t do a good enough job” — Jalen Hurts
