Sure, Hurts was pressured a lot, but he was awesome Sunday when pressured. He was 11-for-20 for 137 yards and two touchdowns, including the winning TD in the final seconds... This was Hurts evolving as a quarterback in a new scheme that gives him more freedom as a passer.

Hurts delivers clutch game-winning drive; evolving in new scheme with more freedom

Hurts delivered a clutch game-winning drive in Week 2 despite an otherwise pedestrian box score (26/37, 264 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT, 85.9 rating). With 1:56 remaining and zero timeouts, he led a nine-play, 65-yard drive accounting for all yards (61 passing, 4 rushing) and the winning TD. His only incompletions were a drop by Dontayvion Wicks and a throwaway to avoid a sack. The source frames this as Hurts 2.0—evolving in a new scheme with more freedom as a passer, taking another step after Week 1 glimpses, suggesting he's making his make-it-or-break-it tipping point after the offensive coordinator change.
