After winning the Super Bowl 10 months ago, the Philadelphia Eagles are casting 2023 votes as the offense continues to struggle.
The Birds have lost three straight games, and this past Monday night might have been the worst of the bunch as Jalen Hurts turned the ball over five times, two of which came on the same play.
Offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo has been public enemy No. 1 as fans egged his house after the loss, but Hurts hasn’t been far behind.

Head coach Nick Sirianni appeared on local radio and was asked about the possibility of benching Hurts, but he answered “no” promptly.
“I think it’s ridiculous,” Sirianni told WIP in Philadelphia on Wednesday. “I know every time I walk out on that field with Jalen Hurts as our quarterback, we have a chance to win the game. That’s something that’s been proven. We’ve won a lot of football games. This is the ultimate team game. You win together as a team, you lose together as a team. It’s never just one thing.”
The Eagles’ current backup is Tanner McKee, a sixth-round pick out of Stanford in 2023 who has 45 career attempts. He saw time late last year when Hurts suffered a concussion, but returned for their Super Bowl run.

BILLS LEGEND SEES SUPER BOWL PATH FOR TEAM AS KRYPTONITE IN CHIEFS COULD MISS PLAYOFFS
Already with three interceptions heading into overtime, Hurts’ fourth sealed the win for the Los Angeles Chargers earlier this week. On 1st and 10 from the Chargers’ 17-yard line and down three points, Hurts sold a play-action fake to Saquon Barkley and rolled out to his right. He looked to hit Jahan Dotson near the goal line, but Cam Hart, who had an interception earlier in the game, laid out and made a huge deflection of the pass to clinch the win.
Philadelphia is averaging 16.2 points and 317.4 yards per game. fight over his last five contests.
