The Philadelphia Eagles' 2023 campaign will kick off against the New England Patriots,
led by Jalen Hurts. At Gillette Stadium, the top quarterback anticipates a competitive battle.
Before their confrontation on Sunday, Hurts praised his opponent in a statement to the media on Wednesday.
Hurts told NESN, "This is a wonderful squad. We're about to play against a well-coached,
team in a very challenging setting. We only need to exert control over the things that we can.
Hurts dismantled a Patriots defense that gave up the eighth-fewest yards in the previous campaign.
On the back end, they have a ton of athletes, said Hurts. "Their linebacking group engages in rough play.
To the ball, they fly. Their D-line, in my opinion, has excellent edge rushers.
