Despite the loss, Jaylen Hurts showed impressive resilience as he fought back with two rushing touchdowns. But the Eagles missed a key chance to win when Hurts threw an interception to Julian Love on a deep pass intended for Quez Watkins
Fortunately, the Eagles’ defense stepped up when Jalen Carter sacked Drew Lock, although it didn’t control the field well early on. Head coach Nick Sirianni challenged the play, and an assessment showed Lock’s knee had sunk before releasing the ball. This reversed call forced the Seahawks to settle for a field goal, giving the Eagles a much-needed break.
On the injury front, rookie linebacker Nolan Smith is currently listed as doubtful to return due to a shoulder injury. He hit hard in the third quarter, raising concerns about his fitness. But relief poured in shortly after Lane Johnson returned to the game after missing just one game with what appeared to be an ankle injury.
Despite the disappointment, the Eagles will try to regroup and bounce back strongly in the upcoming games.
