Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts lectured reporters following a press conference this week after not being asked any questions about Sunday’s matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
The majority of Wednesday’s press conference had Hurts fielding questions about his appearance on the “ManningCast,” with a few football questions sprinkled in.

Hurts addressed the media about it at the conclusion of the press conference.
“I will say this too: I didn’t get any questions about the Cardinals for real this game. I don’t want y’all thinking this is … this is a really good team we’re about to play. They have a really good defense, disruptive up front. They have speed on the back end.
“So, let’s not set the precedent for that. This is a good football team.”

“We still haven’t hit our stride on offense,” Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday. “You’ve seen spurts. I’ve talked to the guys today. We have the talent and the effort, but we haven’t put it together, coaching or playing.

“Really proud of the fight we’ve shown. I think that can pay dividends down the road, but we’ve got a lot of things we’ve got to tighten up on offense.”
The Cardinals host the Eagles, the last remaining undefeated team in the NFL, Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET.
