Jalen Hurts Concussion Ends Eagles’ 10-Game Win Streak
LANDOVER, Md. – In a devastating turn of events, the Philadelphia Eagles faced a setback in their quest for the NFC playoffs’ top seed as quarterback Jalen Hurts suffered a concussion during Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders. The 36-33 loss not only dented their chances but also ended their impressive 10-game win streak, leaving fans anxious about the team’s future.
Jalen Hurts’ Injury
The game took a grim turn for the Eagles when Hurts hit his head on the ground following a hard tackle by linebacker Frankie Luvu. The impact forced Hurts to exit the game, leaving fans and teammates concerned about his well-being. Despite being evaluated in the medical tent, Hurts was ruled out due to a concussion, adding more uncertainty to the team’s already challenging situation.
Kenny Pickett Steps In
In Hurts’ absence, Kenny Pickett, the former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, stepped up to take his place. Pickett showed promise by finishing 14-of-24 for 143 yards with a touchdown and an interception. However, his performance was marred by a rib injury sustained during the game, raising concerns about the team’s quarterback situation moving forward.
