Jalen Hurts ‘could not have played worse’ — and there’s even more reason for Eagles to be worried

Jalen Hurts is moving like Eli Manning on the gridiron.

Not only did the Eagles’ quarterback have one of the worst performances of his career by tallying five turnovers in the 22-19 road loss to the Chargers on Monday, including the game-ending interception in overtime, he had no effect on the game as a rusher.

Hurts tallied just four rushes for eight yards on “Monday Night Football,” his third-lowest performance of the season, a stark contrast to injured Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert’s 10-rush, 66-yard performance on the ground.

The staggering difference between the two caught the eye of Philadelphia’s 94 WIP host Jon Ritchie.

“Jalen could not have played worse seemingly,” Ritchie said after the game. “The thing that really troubled me last night was I thought I saw a difference in the way he applied himself. The overtime burst was different than the regular duration burst and that’s a problem.

“Dude, the guy across the way (Herbert) is (6-foot-6) and gawky basketball type with a broken hand that just had to have plates and screws put in it a week ago and he’s leading his team in rushing. He’s a big part of why that rushing game chewed clock, why they controlled that game… Jalen, that’s supposed to be you, man. That’s supposed to be your forte. That’s supposed to be the way we can just milk the clock to our advantage, which I quite honestly have not seen enough ever.”
