After losing 20-17 to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football, the Philadelphia Eagles have now lost three straight games.
While there are many reasons for why the Eagles have gotten to this point, starting quarterback Jalen Hurts — who played through an illness in Seattle — believes it comes down to the simple fact that some of his teammates are not "committed enough" to winning.
“I’ve been talking about execution all year,” Hurts said following the Eagles' disappointing loss. “Being on the same page, everyone being on the same page. We didn’t execute. I don’t think we’re, we’re all, we’re committed enough. Just got to turn it around. You know, it’s a challenge that we have to embrace. Just continue to see it through.”
The Eagles Need to Get on the Same Page
Although Hurts pointed fingers at his teammates, he emphasized that being on the same page starts with him.
“It’s a matter of being on the same page,” Hurts said. “It takes everyone being all in, in all aspects. And it starts with me.”
Hurts finished the night completing a dissatisfying 17 of 31 passes for 143 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also added 82 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground that weren't enough.
The Eagles' final regular-season stretch should be a cakewalk against the Giants, Cardinals and Giants again, but if Hurts can't win back over the locker room, then it's going to be a messy finish.
