STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Hurts faces elite Jaguars pass rush (36.5% pressure on 26.9% blitz); must diagnose coverage pre-snap.

Hurts faces a difficult Jaguars pass rush that generates 36.5% pressure rate on only 26.9% blitz rate through four games; the source emphasizes Hurts cannot assume pre-snap coverage pictures will hold, as the Jaguars rotate safeties from two-high shells into Cover 1 or Cover 3, and he must get the ball out quickly or risk pressure arriving before downfield routes develop. The Eagles need protection checks and immediate passing answers available even against a defense that prefers rushing four.
