  "account": "Dan Orlovsky's comments on Jalen Hurts' blood clot ruling him out of Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers have the potential to be a defining moment for the Philadelphia Eagles, according to the sports pundit. The Eagles are currently below .500 and cannot afford to fall further behind teams currently in the playoffs. Orlovsky described the situation as \"potentially a franchise-changing moment\" for the Eagles. With the team already on a bad three-game slide, it's uncertain if Hurts will be back in time for Halloween or Thanksgiving. If he is sidelined for a prolonged period, the Eagles could face disaster. While the Eagles have a defense capable of winning it all, their offense has been less impressive. The pressure on Jalen Hurts to perform well in his first Super Bowl season is immense, given that he is being evaluated under the pressure of having won the championship.",
  "summary": "There's a lot on the table for the Eagles in the coming weeks.",
