Jalen Hurts prepares for another Week 1 start as Eagles quarterback

Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback Jalen Hurts maintains a perfect record in season openers, holding a 5-0 mark since taking over the position. The team is scheduled to face the Washington Commanders at Lincoln Financial Field this Sunday to begin their season. Hurts attributes his consistency to diligent preparation and an emphasis on collective play. This approach has remained constant even as the team transitions to an offense directed by Sean Mannion and integrates new receiving personnel. Past opening victories for Philadelphia include games against Atlanta, Detroit, New England, Green Bay, and Dallas, with the last three decided by a single score. Hurts recorded three touchdowns against Atlanta in 2021 and totaled 333 yards against Detroit in 2022, while his performance against Dallas last season included two rushing scores.
