As the Eagles geared up for their upcoming matchup against the Rams, quarterback Jalen Hurts took time to speak with reporters after Wednesday’s practice. His message was resoundingly clear: the primary goal is winning, and the method of achieving that victory may vary from game to game.

During the press conference, Hurts emphasized the importance of finding a rhythm on the field. "Every game is different," he explained. "I don't play the game for anything other than to win, and my role in each game will be different. We just want to go out there, do our jobs, and seize opportunities. In playoff football, winning is all that matters."

Hurts also shared his thoughts on facing the Rams, highlighting their continuous evolution as a formidable team. “They’ve always been great upfront, and we’re meeting them at a time when they’re peaking again. This young squad, combined with a talented coach and strong players, presents a challenge, especially with their disruptive defense,” he stated.

Despite the Rams' impressive nine sacks against Minnesota last week, Hurts made it clear that the Eagles are concentrating on what they can control. “[We're] not getting caught up in past performances. Each game is unique, and while we’ll review tape, we acknowledge the team we’re facing now is different from the one we played earlier,” he added.

Reflecting on their recent Wild Card victory, Hurts pointed out that although there are always missed opportunities, it’s the crucial plays that define success. “We came through when it mattered most, and that’s the essence of winning,” he remarked.

On the topic of player involvement, particularly with A.J. Brown after a quiet game, Hurts reaffirmed the need to distribute the ball effectively. “Getting everyone involved is crucial. A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert – they’re all key to our game plan. It’s about efficient execution and taking advantage of every opportunity,” he noted.

When questioned about opponents targeting their running game, specifically aimed at stopping standout running back Saquon Barkley, Hurts expressed confidence. “They try, but I don’t think there’s been a game where they’ve truly contained him. He consistently finds a way to contribute to our success, and that reflects on the entire team's effort.”

Hurts also praised Barkley’s remarkable performance this season, especially considering the volume of carries he has shouldered. “He came to Philadelphia driven and has faced challenges, but his dedication and resilience are exceptional,” Hurts said.

As the Eagles prepare for their high-stakes clash with the Rams, Hurts’ focus on adaptability and team cohesion highlights a winning mindset that could propel them deep into the playoffs. Will this be the game that cements their reputation as title contenders? Fans will certainly be eagerly watching to see if Hurts and his teammates can deliver once more.
