Hurts at career-low 21.4 rushing yards per game; minimal run usage despite effectiveness.

Hurts is running at a career-low 21.4 rushing yards per game this year, ranking 9th among quarterbacks; after averaging over 50 rushing yards per game early in his career, he's averaged just 15 yards per game since Week 2, with 61 rushing yards over the last four weeks marking his 2nd-fewest in a four-game stretch since becoming a full-time starter in 2021. His two rushing yards against Jacksonville were the 2nd-fewest of his 89 career starts. The source notes that while Hurts remains effective when he does run (4.7 average, his highest since 2021), he's doing it less than ever, and this reduction matters especially as the offense searches for answers.
