What happened: Philadelphia moved to 2-0 to open the 2026 season without forcing a turnover in either game. Jalen Hurts completed 26 of 37 passes Sunday and

Why it matters: Only four prior teams started 2-0 that way, and two of them, the 1984 49ers and 1998 Broncos, won the Super Bowl that season. Hurts is the first Eagles quarterback with five touchdown passes through two games since 2006, putting the offense ahead of its takeaway-free defense.

By the numbers: Eagles are 5th team to start 2-0 with zero takeaways: 1984 49ers, 1998 Broncos, 2016 Giants, 2025 Buccaneers. Hurts: 26-of-37 (70.3%) Sunday, 31st career 70% game; 59-24 in first 84 starts; 5 TD to 4 targets in two weeks.

What to watch: Watch whether Philadelphia forces its first takeaway in Week 3 and whether Hurts sustains touchdowns to four separate targets.
