Nick Sirianni: Sitting Jalen Hurts ‘ridiculous’? Hardly. Bench him if he struggles Sunday.
The season is at stake. A loss Sunday to the Raiders combined with a Cowboys win would shrink the Eagles’ lead in the NFC East to a half-game. This is no time to worry about Jalen Hurts’ feelings.
As the NFL season creeps toward Christmas, the reigning Super Bowl MVP looks nothing like it. In fact, Jalen Hurts is so out of sorts, his coach has been forced to confirm Hurts will remain Philadelphia's starting QB entering Week 15.
A change in Philly would involve moving Tanner McKee or Sam Howell into the starting lineup, but Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni made it clear on WIP this morning that it’s not something being entertained by the team.

Benching Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts would be short-sighted, but it isn’t ridiculous to wonder
No team in modern NFL history has benched a quarterback this late into a season and won a Super Bowl. But the Eagles aren’t going to win a Super Bowl with Hurts playing like he has been recently.
The Philadelphia Eagles are hoping for improved play over the last four games of their 2025-26 season after a road loss to the Los Angeles Chargers dropped coach Nick Sirianni's team to 8-5 this season.
Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni called the notion of benching of Jalen Hurts "ridiculous," when asked about the struggling quarterback.

The Eagles’ star quarterback, who has a completion rate below 60 percent in four of his last five games, coughed up five turnovers during Monday night’s loss to the Chargers. He is nearing rock bottom as coach Nick Sirianni fields questions about whether he will look to bench him.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts took the blame on Sunday after his fifth turnover of the day came in overtime, sealing a disappointing loss to the Chargers. During his weekly appearance on 94WIP on Wednesday morning, Philadelphia head coach Nick Sirianni was asked about the possibility of making a quarterback change this season.
