Episode notes
Hurts' Scrambles Won The Game
- Jalen Hurts' scrambles were the deciding factor in the win and provided multiple first downs.
- The offense had only seven true possessions but a 93rd-percentile success rate, showing high efficiency.
Short Passing Drove High Success Rate
- Hurts completed many short, efficient throws; his average pass traveled roughly 4.5 yards past the line of scrimmage.
- That helped his 89th-percentile success-rate showing and made the offense steady despite few deep shots.
Attack Downfield More Often
- Scheme more downfield shots for AJ Brown, Devonta Smith, and Hurts' deep ball to balance the offense.
- Use offensive creativity to create more one-on-one opportunities outside the numbers.
