Jalen Hurts Expresses Regret After Eagles' 21-17 Loss to Denver Broncos: "We Couldn't Protect the Lead"
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts expressed his disappointment following the team’s 21-17 loss to the Denver Broncos on October 5th. Despite a solid performance from Hurts, who threw for 280 yards and two touchdowns, the Eagles were unable to hold onto their lead in the second half, leading to a tough defeat.
“We had the game in our hands, but we couldn’t protect the lead,” Hurts said after the game. “I take responsibility for some of the plays that didn’t go our way. We need to learn from this and make sure we finish strong next time.”
Hurts’ performance was one of the few bright spots for the Eagles, as he consistently moved the ball downfield and found success in the passing game. However, the team struggled to maintain momentum in the second half, allowing the Broncos to capitalize on mistakes and ultimately secure the victory.
“The second half was a battle, but we didn’t execute as well as we should have,” Hurts continued. “We’ve got to stay focused, especially when we’re up. We can’t let games slip away like this.”
The loss marks a setback for the Eagles as they continue to strive for consistency. Hurts remains confident in the team’s ability to bounce back but acknowledged the need for improvement moving forward.
“We’ll learn from this and come back stronger,” Hurts concluded. “This team is resilient, and we’ll keep working to get better every week.”
