What impressed offensive coordinator Brian Johnson about Hurts’ efficiency on Sunday?

“Well, I think we settled down,” Johnson mentioned. “Obviously, we didn’t have a great start. We went three-and-out on the first drive, which was not good but the cleanliness that he played with, the conviction that he played with, the accuracy, it was — he played a really, really clean game. Guys did a great job of making plays. I thought our protection was outstanding. I thought the guys did a fantastic job of blocking their front four, which is a really, really good unit, and the guys played clean. The guys made plays it was good. It was a good effort.”

What made Hurts’ efficiency so spectacular on Sunday was that he was clearly hobbled by a knee harm and wasn’t capable of run. He did all of his harm as a passer from the pocket.

This season, Hurts has accomplished 68.4% of his passes for two,140 yards, with 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
