Jalen Hurts is set for another showdown with Todd Bowles and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a familiar adversary since his rise as the Philadelphia Eagles' starting quarterback. Hurts has faced the Bucs four times, resulting in a mixed record and highlighting his struggles against their defensive pressure.
This season, under new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, the Eagles have adopted a more effective strategy for dealing with blitzes, illustrated by Hurts' improved completion rates and decision-making under pressure. Changes in blitz protection and an emphasis on quickly identifying hot routes have contributed to a more positive offensive performance.
As Hurts prepares for the upcoming contest, the adjustments made by the Eagles' coaching staff and Hurts' own growth in reading defenses will be tested against Bowles’ formidable tactics.
