Jalen Hurts enters Eagles season opener against Washington with high ball security

The Philadelphia Eagles begin their 2026 season with a divisional game against Washington. Quarterback Jalen Hurts enters the match following a 2025 campaign in which he threw 25 touchdowns and only six interceptions. Philadelphia finished the previous season with a plus-6 turnover margin, while Washington struggled to force takeaways, ranking 31st in the league with only 10 total. During his most recent appearance against Washington, Hurts recorded 185 passing yards and two touchdowns. His ability to limit giveaways against a defense that allowed 26.5 points per game last year remains a central focus for Philadelphia. The outcome of the game rests heavily on the turnover battle between the two NFC East teams.
