They say pressure makes diamonds. But the adage doesn’t hold any truth to Jalen Hurts. In the game against the Jets, their defense didn’t leave a single chance to pressure the Eagles where it hurts them the most. The whole world is singing praises of the Jets after they beat insurmountable circumstances. Some time ago, a correspondent said that the Eagles would win this game if they would just show up. Maybe Robert Saleh took it seriously.
As the NFL fans go wild over the Eagles’ loss, they are also giving credit to Zach Wilson and the Jets’ defense for doing a phenomenal job of breaking their opposition’s win streak. Now, just like every time else, there are questions and slander surrounding Jalen Hurts. An episode of Get Up dives deeper into the lore of Jets vs Eagles.
Jalen Hurts gets the smoke

The video starts off with Robert Saleh’s post-game interview. Saleh said that the Jets have embarrassed a ‘gauntlet’ of QBs in the league and that the Jets can go toe to toe with anyone in the league. One of the hosts immediately mentions how the word ‘embarrassed’ might be an appropriate choice and how the New York Jets’ defense made ‘Jalen Hurts look like a rookie’. The host adds the contributions that Quincy Williams brought to the Jets’ table as he came out with 12 tackles and a fumble recovery.
His brother Quinnen Williams also came out of the game with 2 tackles and an interception. Safe to say that the Jets beat the Eagles fair and square. Part of the reason for this strong defense is the Jets’ strategy to keep rotating their defensive players so that they are fresh every time. A host mentions how the Jets have 7 players that can rush the passers and that they’re a ‘playoff’ team.
Ryan Clark’s advice to Zach Wilson finally worked out, as the Jets pressured Hurts as much as they could.
The concerns surrounding the Eagles
There is a constant backchat about the Eagles’ offense being weak. Also, they might have relied on the tush-push strategy too much by now because the move didn’t make it in the highlights this time around. Add to this the 4 turnovers from the Eagles, which was the icing on the cake for the Eagles’ failure to win the match. The Kelce brothers talked about it in a New Heights episode.

Jason Kelce mentioned that the Eagles struggle with finding their way to the red zone and we could see the frustration on Kelce’s face in the game against the Chargers. The Eagles HC Nick Sirianni is well aware of the Eagles’ failures and is committed to making changes to the training regimen.
