Jalen Hurts: “We are not all committed enough”
In a span of only 15 days, and after three consecutive losses to San Francisco, Dallas and Seattle, Philadelphia went from a splendid 10-1 record to 10-4. The Eagles were defeated by the Seahawks this Monday Night Football and, at the end of the game, QB Jalen Hurts was questioned about the last offensive series they put in the game with less than 30 seconds left. Hurts, without hesitation, did not hesitate to bring controversial statements to the table.
“I’ve been talking about execution all year,” Hurts said. “Be on the same page, everyone on the same page. We do not execute. I don’t think we are all committed enough. We must turn it around. You know, it’s a challenge we must accept. Commitment. I don’t have a dictionary with me now, I don’t know how else to say that. It’s a matter of time to be on the same page. Everyone needs to participate in all aspects. And it starts with me,” he concluded.
Without a doubt, Hurts did well to close his statements by assuming that everything starts with him. However, the background is more than clear: at this very moment, the Eagles individually are not forming a group; They are missing something and it is at the worst possible time of the year because the end of the season is close. Although, of course, concluding the campaign with a couple of games against the Giants and one against the Cardinals could help them regain their form heading into the 2024 Playoffs.

Ja’Marr Chase out indefinitely
Despite having lost QB1 Joe Burrow for the rest of the year, led by QB2 Jake Browning, these Bengals have won three consecutive games and already control their own destiny to enter the playoffs in the American Conference, but a new obstacle is in place. could get in the way. Via Ian Rapoport NFL MediaWR Ja’Marr Chase reportedly suffered a separated shoulder last Saturday against the Vikings, meaning the star receiver will be out indefinitely.
Last Sunday, a day after the game against Minnesota, HC Zac Taylor indicated that Chase would remain on “day-to-day” status. However, Chase will not be available next week in a crucial game against Pittsburgh and now appears to be “week to week”; The receiver played 50 of 70 plays last Saturday and left the field prematurely after a 24-yard reception with 10:33 left on the game clock.
Chase currently has a total of 93 receptions for 1,156 yards and 7 TDs this season. However, from now on, the Bengals will have to rely more on receivers Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd, their main offensive weapons when Chase is out, although names like Trenton Irwin, Andrei Iosivas and Charlie Jones could also see a greater involvement at the hands of a Browning who will have to take out the caste for the franchise.
Can the Bengals overcome this tough blow? Are they a playoff team without Ja’Marr Chase? We read you in the comments below this article and on our social networks.

Tom Brady criticizes suspension of Damontae Kazee
The previous Saturday afternoon, the Steelers fell 13-30 to the Colts in a game that featured a controversial play. QB Gardner Minshew, of Indianapolis, looked for his receiver, WR Michael Pittman Jr., in a somewhat erratic delivery, so Pittman had to launch himself into the air to reach the ball. However, S Damontae Kazee was waiting for him and received him with a hard blow that caused Pittman a concussion. Therefore, Kazee has been suspended.
More precisely, this Monday it was confirmed that Kazee has been disqualified for the rest of the season. Despite this, not all figures agree. Legend of this sport, former QB Tom Brady posted on his social media that blaming Kazee is wrong. Instead, he pointed out that Minshew has the responsibility of throwing a better pass to Pittman, and not a delivery where the receiver has been exposed in search of the ball: “No one likes to see players get injured,” Brady wrote on Instagram .
“Hard hits happen. Passers should not throw in areas where they expose their own teammates to these hits. Coaches need to coach better, passers need to read coverages and throw the ball to the right places, and defenders need to target the right hitting areas. Blaming the defensive player all the time is wrong. We need better quarterback play! It’s not right that they have their receivers beat up because of their bad decisions! he said.
