Jalen Hurts credits preparation for his perfect Week 1 record
Jalen Hurts credits preparation, confidence and the team playing together for his perfect record as the Eagles’ starter in season openers
Jalen Hurts has maintained a perfect record in the season opener for the Philadelphia Eagles, never losing since replacing Carson Wentz. To date, he has victories in Week 1 starts against Atlanta, Detroit, New England, Green Bay, and Dallas. Speaking to Zach Berman, Hurts attributed his success to preparation, time to get ready, and playing as a cohesive unit.
These factors, he said, were a reflection of the work and preparation put in by the team. Hurts also highlighted the confidence and clarity gained through preparation, which will be crucial against a division rival, the Washington Commanders, in Sunday's game. He has previously excelled in close games, such as a 32-6 win over Atlanta and a 333-yard performance against Detroit.
Despite changes in offensive coordinator and receiving corps, Hurts' preparation-driven mindset remains the same, providing clarity and confidence for the Eagles when they face Washington.
