Navigating Challenges
While the Eagles have faced their share of challenges this season, including a daunting three-game losing streak, the overall outlook remains positive. Most teams would envy the team’s standing at this point in the season. Hurts, despite enduring his most difficult game of the year—where he threw four interceptions and lost a fumble—has been a pivotal player for the Eagles. Bad games are part of the landscape for any athlete, and Hurts’ contributions over the season have underscored his value to the team.
