If the Eagles can't run effectively against Tampa Bay, can Jalen Hurts beat the Buccaneers with his arm? FrontOffice33 | FlyEaglesFly | NFLPlayoffs
The Philadelphia Eagles are set to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild-card round this Sunday. The Eagles have one of the NFL’s top rushing attacks, but they’ll be facing a team that is among the league’s best in defending the run. The question Philadelphia may be forced to answer on Sunday is whether they can ride Jalen Hurts’ arm—and not their running backs—to a win.
The win/loss results weren’t pretty. After those first seven games of 2021, the Eagles were 2-5, including a loss to the Buccaneers. It was Hurts’ worst start of the season to that point: just 115 yards, a touchdown, and a pick on 12-of-26 passing . Around the same time as the Eagles’ switch, the Buccaneers’ running defense began to slip. Since Week 7, when they led the NFL with the fewest allowed rush yards, Tampa Bay is just 15th-best in preventing the run. They still remained in the league’s top three in stopping opponents’ rushing attacks by the end of the season, though.
The good news for Hurts and the Eagles is that he can thrive as a passer in this offense. His numbers improved this season when Philadelphia used Hurts’ arm as a complement to their rushing attack. Establishing the run game early also sets up play-action passing as an option, and when Hurts gets that extra time to throw, he’s very successful. The Eagles have also implemented RPOs in their offensive schemes, making them even harder to defend.
