Eagles' Jalen Hurts shouldn't be blamed for loss to Jags

On Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles took the lead against the Jacksonville Jaguars with only eight seconds remaining, only to fall short in blowing the lead. Despite the Jaguars being favored to win, the Eagles' eight-second push made it appear as though the game was already decided, but it was not. ESPN's Tim McManus highlights the challenges faced by Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who had a difficult task working with a limited offense.

Hurts demonstrated resilience by going 5-of-7 against the blitz before halftime, catching a crucial 61-yard touchdown pass from Darius Cooper in the second quarter. Moreover, Hurts led the Eagles down the field late, setting up Jake Elliott's go-ahead 48-yard field goal with just eight seconds left on the clock. While acknowledging that Hurts was not perfect, McManus emphasizes that he did everything he could, underlining the silver lining for the Eagles quarterback in a tough loss.
