Jalen Hurts Challenges Underdog Eagles to Find Out Who They Are Ahead of Matchup with Rams – WTOP News

Hurts said the Eagles must answer injuries and offensive struggles after two straight prime-time losses.

  • On Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams erased a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-20 at Lincoln Financial Field. Running back Kyren Williams scored two late touchdowns in the final four minutes, dropping Philadelphia to 2-2.
  • Philadelphia's offense failed to convert any of its 12 third-down attempts, managing just 172 net yards. The team remained scoreless after halftime for the second consecutive week, compounding offensive struggles.
  • Hampered by injuries to starters including running back Saquon Barkley, who exited early with a hamstring injury, and wide receiver DeVonta Smith, the Eagles surrendered two long touchdown drives in the final four minutes.
  • Quarterback Jalen Hurts previously challenged his team after a 27-7 loss to the Chicago Bears, stressing that winning "always going to take precedence over anything." His call for accountability reflects urgency to correct performance gaps.
  • This defeat leaves Philadelphia with a 2-2 record and intensifies scrutiny on head coach Nick Sirianni. The Eagles have been outscored 31-0 after halftime over the last two weeks, signaling urgent need for adjustments.
