The Eagles are 2-0, but they have been less than impressive on offense. They rank 29th in total offense and 31st in passing yards, and Jalen Hurts’ 5.62 yards per attempt is only 24th.
Hurts talked about “synchronization” — or the lack thereof — when asked how the film looked following a 94-yard passing day against the Chiefs.
“I take a lot of accountability for a lot of it, and just how we go out there because that’s my job,” Hurts said, via John McMullen of SI.com. “My job is to go out there and be the general, orchestrate everything, and ultimately make plays.”
Hurts called expectations for the defending Super Bowl champions “fair.”
The Eagles have only two pass plays of more than 15 yards. Jahan Dotson caught a 51-yard pass in Week 1 against Dallas and DeVonta Smith a 28-yarder against the Chiefs in Week 2.
