Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles showcased a strategic shift in their game plan, emphasizing the passing game in a recent victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hurts targeted A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith extensively, leading to a season-high in passing yards and touchdowns for both receivers.
This adjustment came after a week of discontent regarding the team's passing attempts, as they had been ranked last in the league. The Eagles' offensive coordinator, Kellen Moore, emphasized the importance of adapting to opponents, which proved effective against the Steelers' weak passing defense.
As the Eagles improve to 12-2, they are well-positioned for the playoffs, having clinched a spot and potentially aiming for the NFC's top seed. The team's ability to resolve internal conflicts and maintain a balanced offensive strategy has been key to their success this season.
