Jalen Hurts Criticizes Eagles’ Poor First-Half Play Despite 33-26 Win Over Rams

The Philadelphia Eagles secured a dramatic 33-26 comeback win against the Rams, capped by Jordan Davis' game-winning blocked field goal returned for a touchdown. Despite the victory, quarterback Jalen Hurts expressed strong dissatisfaction with the team's first-half performance, labeling it "unacceptable" and urging a more aggressive mindset rather than playing conservatively. Hurts also publicly challenged offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo and coach Jemal Singleton on the sidelines for better play-calling during the game. Star receiver A.J. Brown echoed this sentiment, pushing for a faster, more aggressive offensive approach that allows the team's playmakers to thrive. While Hurts displayed a notably calm demeanor during the final play, his leadership and critique signaled a demand for higher standards and urgency within the team. The Eagles' coaching staff, including Patullo, who has been with the team since 2021 and was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2025, now faces pressure to adjust their strategy to fully leverage the team's talent and firepower.
