Jalen Hurts was reeling from a heartbreaking loss at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons last week. In that game, Hurts threw one interception and in the season opener against the Green Bay Packers, he threw two.
Now in Philly's first road game, he's thrown his fourth of the season. In the second quarter, the New Orleans Saints were leading 3-0. The Saints had collectively scored a total of 91 points in the last two games and were proving to be the underdogs this season. Hurts knew he had to be extra careful in this game.
With the ball at third and 9, Jalen Hurts threw the ball towards his receiver who was comfortably in the end zone, but at the last second, safety Tyrann Mathieu cut across the receiver and snatched the ball. Mathiew carried the ball out of the end zone to the 19 yard line.
