Moderator: Let’s jump right in. The Eagles ⁤are playing exceptionally well, finishing 14-3 despite Hurts’ absence in the final weeks due to a concussion. Do you think Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee made a compelling case for more playing⁤ time going ⁢forward, even with Hurts’ expected return?

Reggie: They definitely stepped up admirably. It takes guts to come in cold and led a team vying⁣ for playoff seeding. Both quarterbacks showed composure and made some crucial plays.

It allows the Eagles’ offense to operate at a completely different tempo.Do you see this being a deciding ⁢factor in the game against the ⁤Packers?
