Jalen Hurts shows improvement against zone coverage in Eagles' win

In the Eagles' 24-22 victory over the Washington Commanders on September 15, Jalen Hurts performed well against zone coverage, posting a 113.5 passer rating on 27 dropbacks. Hurts' performance included his highest explosive play rate in his last 17 starts, indicating a positive development in finding throwing windows. However, he still has room to improve in generating consistent positive plays. First-round rookie Makai Lemon had a mixed debut with limited targets, suggesting adjustments in his usage might be necessary as he integrates more into the Eagles' offensive scheme.
