Saw some buzz on the timeline about Jalen Hurts’ second interception in Brazil, centered on this Baldy video:

A.J. Brown slips. The field was terrible and made the game less enjoyable.

The other thing that you see in this video is Jalen Hurts throwing across his body to the middle of the field while escaping the pocket to his right, which quarterbacks are never advised to do. When the ball is released, Jaire Alexander has his head turned and is adjusting well, so even if Brown hadn’t slipped, it doesn’t guarantee a touchdown. Maybe it’s a 50/50 ball, maybe A.J. can knock it down or go up and contest it and pull off something spectacular. Who knows?

The point is that there’s no one true takeaway here. There’s blame to go around, which is antithetical to the typical Philadelphia sports fan and media methodology of finding a singular explanation for anything and everything. I invite everyone to convert. Come worship at the altar of “more than one thing can be true,” because that’s the pragmatic approach. And while nuance doesn’t make for the most exciting sports talk, it helps defeat fugazi narratives and adds context to the discourse. Rarely do we ever find ourselves applying 100% blame or 100% absolution in these scenarios. The truth is always somewhere in the middle.
