The Eagles like to emphasize ball security, but Jalen Hurts is on his way to a career-worst number of interceptions. Let's look at some numbers that can help explain the increase in turnovers.
Miami Dolphins linebacker Jerome Baker intercepts Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts pass in the third quarter to tie the game Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023, in Philadelphia, PA.After being one of the league’s best teams in turnover differential a year ago, the Eagles are headed in a different direction in 2023., with eight, is one interception away from tying his career-high for a season and has already tossed two more picks than he did all of last year.
“Obviously you look at the level of production and correlation,” Hurts said. “Everyone wants to look at it and compare it to last year. We’re statistically better besides turning the ball over. We just have to play clean in that area and I have to do a better job with that and continue to trend forward with that. The reality is we haven’t played our best ball.”
By comparison, Hurts had just 12 turnover-worthy plays all of last season, the lowest total of any quarterback with at least 500 dropbacks. Hurts’ fumble against the Dolphins came when he held onto the ball for an extended period on a third-and-8 play in the first quarter. He went to cover the ball just as Dolphins edge rusher Bradley Chubb swatted at it, something Eagles offensive coordinator Brian Johnson noted earlier this week.
