The Eagles QB vividly recalls the playoff loss to to Tampa Bay in 2022. That's when Bucs cornerbacks coach Kevin Ross told his players that Hurts “can’t read” a defense.
The Eagles quarterback has said it himself: Whether it’s past failure or the external skepticism that it invites, Hurts has a tendency to find meaning from adverse moments and motivation from the doubters who emerge.
“I’m wired to give my best and play to my standard,” Hurts said. “But a little extra inspiration never hurts.”In Ross’ defense, Hurts’ performance that day nearly two years ago didn’t provide much of a rebuttal. Facing the Tom Brady-led Bucs in his first season as a full-time starter and his first playoff game, Hurts looked disoriented against Todd Bowles’ defensive system and threw two interceptions while completing just 53% of his passes.
“That season, we saw flashes and we knew what we could do,” Smith said. “It was one thing that we were missing. That year, we were good running the ball; we just needed to get our passing game going.” Because of the short turnaround, the Eagles went through the corrections from the Patriots game more quickly than usual before starting preparation for the Vikings. The day before the Vikings game, Hurts told the coaching staff he felt as if he didn’t spend the necessary time learning from the Week 1 struggles and asked to go through it again.
