The Philadelphia Eagles slumped to a third consecutive defeat after Monday’s overtime loss against the Los Angeles Chargers. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has grabbed the headlines for his disastrous showing against the Chargers.
Hurts threw a career-worst four interceptions against the Chargers and led to five turnovers in one of the worst performances of his NFL career. While the Eagles’ offense has been struggling over the last few weeks, radio host Tom Kelly pinned the blame on Hurts.
“Can we stop lying to ourselves now? Can we stop lying to ourselves and realize that the quarterback is the problem with this offense? Okay, I don’t want to hear about Kevin Patullo tonight. I don’t want to hear about the offensive line. The pass protection was fine, the play going was fine.
“The quarterback has been the problem for the last five weeks and I am tired of hearing the excuses. I’m tired of hearing about how he plays the best in the biggest games and won the Super Bowl last year. I don’t care about that right now.”

Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo has been under fire for the team’s struggles on the field. Patullo’s house was reportedly vandalized by angry fans amid the team’s struggles.
Eagles OC Kevin Patullo said fans “crossed line” by vandalizing his house amid offensive struggles
Kevin Patullo addressed the situation regarding his vandalized house ahead of the Eagles’ Week 14 clash on Monday.
“It’s perfectly acceptable to sit up here and talk about what’s going on, how to fix it, what we’re going to do going forward, and we know that,” Patullo said. “But when it involves your family, obviously it crosses the line. And so, that happened. At this point, we’ve just gotta move on.
“We’re trying to win. That’s all we want to do is focus — whether it’s my family, whether it’s the team — all we’re trying to do together is focus on this week.”
The Eagles are in a precarious position with their quarterback unable to find a way out of his slump and his offense not doing him any favors on the field.
