Jalen Hurts goes from hero to zero: Eagles QB under fire after heartbreaking loss to Falcons
Fans react to Eagles’ Monday Night meltdown
Quarterback Jalen Hurts is supposed to be the hero of the Philadelphia Eagles. His talent is undeniable, and he even led his team to a Super Bowl against Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs. But it is also a fact that since that game, Hurts’ level has been gradually declining. Last season, Hurts was a key player in the collapse of the Eagles, who went on a terrible negative streak in the last few weeks, culminating in their early elimination from the Playoffs.
This year, although he did not have a bad performance in the first game of the year against the Green Bay Packers, Hurts has not shown again the level that a couple of years ago led him to be considered as MVP of the league.

But now, football fans are not holding back their criticism of Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles after their tough 22-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football. The Eagles had multiple opportunities to secure the win, but some questionable play-calling, late-game heroics from Kirk Cousins and Drake London, and a crucial interception by Hurts led to their first loss of the season.
One fan on social media expressed their frustration, saying, “The Eagles had this game in the bag, but they let it slip away. Hurts needs to step up in these crucial moments.” Another fan chimed in, adding, “It’s disappointing to see the Eagles squander such a great opportunity. They need to tighten up their game in the fourth quarter.”
The criticism didn’t stop there. Many fans took to social media to vent their frustrations, with one fan tweeting, “I can’t believe the Eagles let this one slip through their fingers. They need to learn how to close out games.”
Hurts’ key interception costs Eagles in narrow home loss
The Eagles will have to quickly regroup as they face the undefeated New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Despite the tough loss, the team will need to focus on making improvements and bouncing back strong in their upcoming game.
It wasn’t just Hurts who faced scrutiny. The Eagles’ defense also came under fire for allowing Cousins to lead a game-winning drive in just over a minute. One analyst commented, “The defense had been solid for most of the game, but they couldn’t come up with a stop when it mattered most. That’s something they’ll need to address moving forward.”
