Yahoo Sports NFL on Jalen Hurts

Hurts' mobility and play-extension ability amplify Barkley's effectiveness vs. Commanders.

In the Week 1 Commanders-Eagles matchup, Hurts' ability to keep the ball, extend plays, and punish an overaggressive defense compounds the challenge posed by Saquon Barkley. If the Commanders allow Barkley to consistently put Philadelphia in manageable situations, the defense will spend the afternoon reacting instead of dictating; second-and-short and third-and-short situations become harder to survive when Hurts can extend plays.
