Episode notes
Hurts' Playmaking Won The Day
- Jalen Hurts delivered an elite, downfield playmaking performance that resembled his best playoff games.
- The offense produced huge explosive plays rather than consistent short-yardage success.
Explosives Over Consistency
- The Eagles' success came from explosive pass plays, not consistent drive-by-drive efficiency.
- The game ranked high in EPA per drive but very low in success rate, showing volatility.
Lean Into Deep Shots
- Let the offense exploit Hurts' and the receivers' deep-ball strengths with more aggressive playcalling.
- Accept some turnovers if it means hunting high-value explosive plays to maximize talent.
