Hurts faces Titans' defensive game plan targeting his mobility; strong Week 1 sets up favorable matchup.

Hurts is coming off a strong Week 1 showing against Washington and faces a Titans defense that is seven-point home underdogs. Jeffery Simmons' pregame comment to "make Jalen Hurts be a QB" and "stop his runs" underscores that the Titans' defensive strategy will be to contain Hurts' mobility; however, Hurts' running ability makes him more dangerous as a pocket passer, and he will need to escape Simmons' pressure for Philadelphia's offense to succeed. The Eagles could use Simmons' comments as bulletin-board material.
