Key Matchup of the Week: Jalen Hurts vs. Saints front seven

prepare for an away matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles (-1), a key matchup to look out for will be that of quarterback Jalen Hurts and the Saints’ front seven.

The Saints are currently 1.5-point underdogs to the Eagles, according to DraftKings sportsbook, and a key reason is the mobility of Jalen Hurts.

Last time these two teams faced off in 2020, Hurts ran all over the Saints, who had a tough time keeping him from getting out of the pocket and extending plays.

Hurts rushed for 106 yards on 14 carries in a victory for Philly.
