Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts committed three turnovers in season-opening win over the Packers and now has 23 in his last 18 games.
Jalen Hurts navigated summer without an interception until Day 16 of training camp, the final day when Darius Slay swiped one.
The quarterback trhew a pair of touchdowns, incuding a beautifully-thrown pass to Saqon Barkley from 18 yards away into a tight pocket just inside the end zone. Hurts finished 20-for-34 with 278 yards and a respectable 80.3 passer rating. It isn't like the blitz gave the quarterback trouble, either. He was 6-for-8 against it for 91 yards and a touchdown. It's when he had time to process that gave him trouble on his two picks.

It’s also troubling to think that the quarterback has a turnover problem, and if he doesn’t solve it, the Eagles won’t do much of anything this season, and make no mistake, Hurts has a turnover problem.
