Going into their Week 15 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Eagles had lost three consecutive games and quarterback Jalen Hurts was being questioned after a brutal performance in the team’s Monday night football loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.</p><p>The quarterback had an answer with his performance in the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-nick-siriannis-jalen-hurts-message-bounce-back-vs-raiders">Eagles 31-0 rout</a> of the Raiders. He completed 12 of 15 passes for 175 yards and 3 touchdowns. Hurts also ran 7 times for 39 yards and dictated the pace of the game. He bumped helmets with wideout A.J. Brown after a 4th quarter touchdown pass and that gesture seemed to release a lot of the tension that has been surrounding the team during the losing streak.</p><p>The quarterback was calm and confident after the game, and said there was <a href="https://x.com/EliotShorrParks/status/2000320936495796399">no loss of confidence</a> in his ability. “Everybody needs to remember where I come from and how I’m built,” Hurts said.</p><h2><b>Sirianni said Eagles got back to its normal personality</b></h2><p>The pressure appeared to mount on head coach Nick Sirianni as well as Hurts as the losing streak continued, but the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-jalen-hurts-rest-early-posting-perfect-qb-rating-raiders">Eagles head coach</a> said it was just a matter of attacking the game in the team’s normal fashion.</p><p>“We’ve been committed to playing Eagles football and doing the things we need to do to play Eagles football,” Sirianni said. “That’s tough, detailed, together, and that happens during the week. If we rode the wave of the outside noise, then you’re not able to do that.”</p><p>In addition to Hurts’ sharp performance, tight end Dallas Goedert made a significant contribution as he had 6 receptions for 70 yards including two touchdowns. Running back Saquon Barkley was not dominant, but he had 22 carries for 78 yards and a touchdown.</p><p>The Eagles recorded their first shutout since the 2018 season and they limited the Raiders to 46 rushing yards. Raiders quarterback Kenny Pickett was 15 of 25 for 64 yards with 1 interception. He was sacked 4 times for 35 yards in losses.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They had lost three games in a row, and the Dallas Cowboys were nipping at their heels. But a dominant win over a disastrous Raiders club should quiet the noise for a week.</p><p>The Eagles are now 9-5 with two games coming against a depleted Washington Commanders team. They have the NFC East title in their grasp and showed last year how they can turn it up a notch in the playoffs. But the concerns around the Eagles won’t go away just because of one good game. There are still serious questions about their offense, and Hurts has a lot to do to answer them.</p><p>The Eagles have a stout defense once again this season, shutting out the Raiders on home turf. It was the defense that lifted them to a championship last season, with Saquon Barkley and Hurts scoring when needed. The same recipe will have to be followed this January if they want a third banner in South Philly.</p><p>The Eagles visit the Commanders on Saturday in Week 16.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Some have even <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-insane-ot-interception-has-fans-calling-for-jalen-hurts-benching">suggested that Philadelphia bench Hurts</a> after his poor performance on Monday.</p><p>Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47266056/eagles-sirianni-hurts-absolutely-start-qb-vs-raiders" rel="noopener">blasted the whole idea</a> when asked about it during a weekly Philadelphia radio interview.</p><p>“No, I think that’s ridiculous,” Sirianni said on 94 WIP in Philadelphia on Wednesday, per ESPN’s Tim McManus. “I know every time I go out on that field with Jalen Hurts as our quarterback, we have a chance to win the game. That’s something that’s been proven. We’ve won a lot of football games.”</p><p>Sirianni emphasized that football is a team game and that Hurts cannot be singled out for the team’s successes or failures.</p><p>“This is the most ultimate team game,” Sirianni added. “You win together as a team, you lose together as a team. It’s never just one thing.”</p><p>Hurts had five total turnovers during Monday’s loss, which is tied for the most by any Eagles player since play-by-play was first tracked in 1978, per McManus. He tied Donovan McNabb, who had five turnovers in a game during his rookie season in 1999.</p><h2><b>Will Jalen Hurts hold the Eagles back during the playoffs?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Eagles-quarterback-Jalen-Hurts-after-the-game.jpg"><figcaption>© Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>There’s no denying that Hurts need to play better moving forward. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/updated-eagles-chargers-playoff-chances-week-14-overtime-tilt">Philadelphia is virtually guaranteed a playoff spot</a>, even after Monday’s loss.</p><p>But they won’t advance far if Hurts continues slinging interceptions.</p><p>Ultimately, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-jalen-hurts-reveals-only-thing-must-do-5-turnover-chargers">Hurts knows that all he can do is respond</a> with a good game.</p><p>“At the end of the day, it’s all about your response to it…,” Hurts told reporters after the game. “It definitely stings, but how do you respond? And that’s the only way I know how to look at it.”</p><p>Hurts will be under the microscope throughout the rest of the 2025 season. If he continues to stumble, this narrative could even follow him into the offseason.</p><p>What Philadelphia could really use right now is a statement win to get that bad taste of their mouths.</p><p>Next up for the Eagles is a Week 15 matchup against the Raiders.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The reality is the 2024 season was an aberration because Saquon Barkley and a dominant O-line were breaking off big gains weekly, opening up play-action and downfield shots for the passing game. This isn’t the same offensive line, which means the Barkley gains aren’t as frequent. That places the spotlight on Hurts, for better or worse. We saw the good in glimpses against the Chargers — an 11-play drive late in the first half was run-heavy and set up a pair of 11-yard completions for Hurts. But the game featured Hurts in straight dropback situations often, and that can lead to problems.”</p><p>Back in 2020, the Eagles drafted Hurts with the 53rd overall pick despite already having Wentz, a former second-overall pick, coming off a year in which he threw for a career-high 4,039 yards, 27 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. Late in the 2020 season, a disastrous campaign for Philadelphia, Hurts replaced Wentz and remained the starter for the season. In the following offseason, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-jalen-hurts-breaks-silence-on-carson-wentz-trade-has-message-for-former-teammate">Eagles traded Wentz to the Indianapolis Colts.</a></p><p>The trade proved to be an ingenious one, as Wentz has not been able to recapture the success he had in his five seasons with the Eagles. Meanwhile, Hurts became an MVP runner-up in his second year as the starter, and he has earned two Pro Bowl appearances and made it to two Super Bowls, including earlier this year when he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-jalen-hurts-mvp-honors-dominant-super-bowl-59-victory">led the Eagles to a dominant win</a> and was rewarded with the game MVP award.</p><p>This year, though, has been a struggle; after a 4-0 start to the season, Philadelphia dropped back-to-back games, including a decisive loss to the New York Giants, before four straight. Since then, though, the Eagles have lost their last three, and in those losses, Hurts has completed less than 60% of his passes, thrown 3 touchdowns and 5 interceptions, and lost two fumbles while the team has averaged 18 points per game. On <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-most-to-blame-for-wild-loss-to-chargers-on-monday-night-football">Monday against the Chargers</a>, Hurts, who has two years left on his five-year, $225 million deal, went 21-for-40 with 240 yards, no touchdowns, and four picks.</p><p>Hurts and the Eagles would appear to have a classic get-back game this weekend when they host the 2-11 Las Vegas Raiders in Philadelphia.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
