Eagles' Sirianni: Hurts 'absolutely' to start at QB vs. Raiders - ESPN

PHILADELPHIA — Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said quarterback Jalen Hurts is «absolutely» his starter for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders and called it «ridiculous» when asked about the possibility of making a change at some point this season if Hurts continues to struggle.

«No, I think that's ridiculous,» he said during his weekly radio appearance on 94 WIP in Philadelphia on Wednesday. «I know every time I go out on that field with Jalen Hurts as our quarterback, we have a chance to win the game. That's something that's been proven. We've won a lot of football games.

»This is the most ultimate team game. You win together as a team, you lose together as a team. It's never just one thing."

Hurts threw four interceptions, including the game sealer near the goal line in overtime, and had five giveaways in all during Monday's night's 22-19 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Hurts' five giveaways tied for the most by an Eagles player since play-by-play was first tracked in 1978, matching Donovan McNabb during his rookie year in 1999. Hurts also was the first Eagles QB with four interceptions in a game since Michael Vick in 2012 and the first NFL player with zero touchdowns and five turnovers in a game since Justin Fields in 2021.

Hurts took accountability for his performance postgame as did other players like A.J. Brown, whose drop over the middle of the field led to one of Hurts' interceptions.

«When we have the ball in overtime and I've got Jalen Hurts as my quarterback, I have all the confidence that we're going to win the football game,» Saquon Barkley said. «Sometimes, it just doesn't work.»

Hurts, the reigning Super Bowl MVP, has a career regular-season record of 54-25 to go with a postseason mark of 6-3. He is
