Eagles Insider Exposes Jalen Hurts – Bombshell Report Reveals Why He’s To Blame For Team’s Collapse In 2025
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
Basically, the Philadelphia Eagles entered the 2025 season with a lot of hope. They had a strong team and a QB who had already delivered in crucial scenario. But when it mattered most, things did not go their way. A failed fourth-down play in their wild-card loss to the San Francisco 49ers ended a season that never felt fully in sync.
With 43 seconds left, offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, quarterback Jalen Hurts, and head coach Nick Sirianni discussed the final play. Hurts suggested running “four verts,” a play they had just used. Sirianni agreed. But the 49ers saw it coming and stopped it easily.
One team source reacted in disbelief, saying, “Oh my God, this is not happening. We can’t run four verts.” The play failed, and their season ended right there.
That moment was not just a one-off mistake. It showed the deeper problems the Eagles had all season.
Offense Stalls As Tension Builds Around Hurts
The Eagles had trouble building a steady passing game. Team sources said the offense lacked creativity and rhythm. Defenses often knew what play was coming. Because of that, the team relied a lot on the run game and Saquon Barkley.
There was also some frustration inside the locker room around Hurts, everyone started to feel he might be overrated. Sources said he pushed back on certain changes. Coaches wanted to use more motion and run more plays from under center. Hurts preferred staying in the shotgun and did not like turning his back to the defense.
Sources also said Hurts changed plays at the line more than some coaches liked. One source said, “You never know what play is coming out of the huddle.” That lack of clarity created tension.
Hurts also struggled at times against zone coverage. He completed passes at a solid rate, but he did not create good plays. His touchdown numbers dropped in those situations. That made the offense easier to defend.
Star receiver AJ Brown felt the impact. His numbers dipped against zone. His frustration showed at times during games. Sources said his relationship with Hurts faced strain during the season. While both stayed professional, communication did not always flow.
“There’s a difference between being friends and being teammates,” one source said. “They weren’t always on the same page.”
The coaching turnover did not help. Hurts will now work with his sixth playcaller since 2020. The team fired Patullo after the season and hired Sean Mannion as the new offensive coordinator. Mannion plans to bring a system built on motion and play-action.
That shift will test Hurts. Some inside the building believe he must adapt. A source close to him said he needs coaches who will “check him.”
Still, the Eagles believe in their quarterback. Hurts has a strong record and a Super Bowl MVP on his resume. Owner Jeffrey Lurie praised his leadership and drive.
Now the focus shifts to 2026. The Philadelphia Eagles need answers on offense. Hurts stands at the center of it all.
