The Philadelphia Eagles find themselves in a challenging situation. Their quarterback, Jalen Hurts, had a difficult game against the Los Angeles Chargers. He threw four interceptions, including one in overtime that sealed the loss. This has sparked debates about whether he should be benched.

But Eagles coach Nick Sirianni isn't having it. He firmly stated that benching Hurts would be "ridiculous." Sirianni believes in his quarterback and thinks the team wins and loses together.

Hurts' Performance

Hurts' performance against the Chargers was far from perfect. He missed open receivers, made poor reads, and struggled to see the field clearly. Despite some good moments, it wasn't enough. The offense has been inconsistent this season, and the blame often falls on Hurts. However, Sirianni's unwavering support shows his faith in Hurts' ability to lead the team.

Defensive Struggles

The Eagles' defense has been playing well, but the offense has let them down. This isn't the first time this season that the offense has wasted a strong defensive performance. The team has been sloppy, turning the ball over too many times and making costly mistakes. Sirianni needs to find a way to get the offense back on track.

Raiders' Struggles

Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Raiders are struggling. They are 2-11 and have the first pick in the draft in their sights. Injuries have plagued the team all season, and now their defense is feeling the impact. Cornerback Kyu Blu Kelly is out for the season after a brutal leg injury. The Raiders' offensive line has also been a problem, allowing too many pressures and sacks.

Looking Ahead

The Eagles have a chance to bounce back against the Raiders. But they need to clean up their act. Sirianni has to find the right message to get the team to relax and play smart football. The schedule lightens up, but the Eagles can't afford to overlook anyone. They need to focus and play their best football.
