Jalen Hurts Blasted by Fans After Two More Ugly Turnovers vs. Saints
Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles are struggling once again in Week 3, with the quarterback throwing an interception and losing a fumble in the first half against the New Orleans Saints. Those two turnovers bring his total to 26 since the start of last season, which leads the NFL.
Hurts led the Eagles to a trip to the Super Bowl in the 2022-23 season, where they lost to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. They made the playoffs last year after a late-season collapse only to get blown out by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild-card round.
Eagles fans are growing impatient with Hurts and his turnovers, which continue to hurt the team. Philadelphia trailed the Saints, 3-0, at halftime on Sunday but could have easily had the lead if Hurts didn't throw this interception in the end zone:

Eagles fans blasted their QB:
It’s painful to admit this - but the Eagles officially have a Jalen Hurts problem.

We should be winning this game by now.

I can't remember a pro athlete that is more frustrating than Jalen Hurts.

He has all the talent in the world, but he makes some of the most bizarre decisions I have ever seen.
You can’t convince me the Eagles don’t have a really good team/roster.

You also can’t convince me Jalen Hurts is any good.
And people wonder why alabama let this guy walk https://t.co/I1QGCUHG27

The dude is a turnover machine. We will never win anything serious with him at QB https://t.co/rOvGR92fEa

very average QB but that Eagles roster hides his deficiencies https://t.co/tm51mcS7NX
