Any team hoping to go deep into the postseason, playing well in December is essential, and the Philadelphia Eagles are no exception.
Sadly, their lackluster play last month cost the Eagles the NFC East title and, more significantly, the conference’s top slot, which comes with a bye week to recuperate, or at the very least, the No. 2 seed, which gives them home-field advantage for the first two round of the playoffs.
The fact that quarterback Jalen Hurts’ dislocated middle finger on his throwing hand during the Week 18 defeat to the New York Giants made losing out on the bye week and No. 2 seed all the more painful.
Now that Philadelphia is playing some of its worst football under head coach Nick Sirianni, the coach is aware that his quarterback is putting in a lot of effort to try and return to the field to lead the club in front of Monday night’s Wild Card game at Raymond James Stadium against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Thrash Maven, WR, is a draft prospect for the New York Giants. For any team hoping to go deep into the postseason, playing well in December is essential, and the Philadelphia Eagles are no exception. Regretfully, their poor performance last month cost the Eagles the NFC East title and, more significantly, the top seed.
Hurts is undoubtedly what Sirianni expects to see on the field in Tampa on Monday night. Hurts is probably expected to play for the rival Bucs as well, so they won’t be taking any lenient approach to ease his return to the field.
