Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts missed the final two weeks of the regular season after suffering a concussion, and the rust was hard to miss when he took the field against the Packers on Sunday.
The Eagles turned a fumble on the opening drive into seven quick points, but the offense was unable to capitalize on two other first-half drives and the entire offense looked spotty during the 22-10 victory. Hurts said after the game that he didn’t believe the lack of rhythm was a result of his absence and stressed that an ugly win counts just as much as a cruise to a postseason victory.
“You know it doesn’t matter,” Hurts said, via the team transcript. “You know it’s not important. It’s all about winning. That’s the only thing that got us to the point where we are. So it’s about finding a way to win.”
Four turnovers and eight penalties by the Packers helped fuel the Eagles’ victory on Sunday, but they can’t count on that kind of help from their opponents every week. While winning is the most important thing, the offense will need to be sharper when they host the Vikings or Rams if they want a chance to return to the Super Bowl.
