Why Eagles QB Jalen Hurts vs Packers QB Jordan Love isn't the top matchup in this Wild Card round playoff game

Pro, Baun made a deep impact by picking off Jordan Love and stopping the Packers as the defense carried the load for the Eagles.

The NFL playoffs are here, and with them come more injury reports on key players whose statuses will undoubtedly impact what happens during Wild Card Weekend.  Perhaps the biggest injury situations pertain to Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts,

Ahead of Sunday's matchup, the Packers and Eagles received positive news concerning quarterbacks Jordan Love and Jalen Hurts.

The Eagles and Packers are gearing up for an epic showdown in South Philly this Sunday that will go down in the annals of NFL lore as the “Love Hurts” game. O.K. I just made that up but as of right now it kind of works.

Jalen Hurts, in his first game since suffering a concussion on Dec. 22, started hot by completing his first six passes. Then he went cold by missing seven straight before recovering in time to lead the Eagles to a hard-fought 22-10 win Sunday.

Jalen Hurts knows the numbers everyone talks about: 131 passing yards, 5.3 yards per attempt, 21 attempts, six passing first downs, seven attempts over 10+ air yards, one attempt over 25+ air yards. He's not oblivious.

On the latest episode of the “Scoop City” podcast, we touched on a point that Chase has been making for a while now: Jalen Hurts might be a good quarterback, but he isn’t throwing like one right now.

But it's hard to ignore Hurts' 43-12 record as a starter since the Eagles were 2-5 midway through the 2021 season. The Eagles have gone 14-3 in both 2022 and this season, tying the best regular-season records in franchise history.
