Hurts stays clean in a game script built to protect him. Philadelphia is favored and will lean on the run game—Hurts averages 6.6 carries per game and faces a Washington run defense that bleeds yards. When a team controls the clock with the lead, the QB doesn't need to force it downfield; he manages the game and takes what's there. Washington's pass defense clamps down on receivers, which means fewer explosive plays and less desperation in the Eagles' passing attack. Hurts' 3-year baseline sits at 0.4 interceptions per game, and in a game script that runs the ball and avoids high-leverage throws, a clean outing is the path of least resistance.
