Nick Sirianni expressed some regret over not playing Jalen Hurts and the offensive starters during the preseason after Sunday's sluggish performance against the New England Patriots.

The Philadelphia Eagles escaped Foxboro with a narrow 25-20 victory in Week 1.

"I'll definitely re-evaluate some of the preseason stuff next year," he said. "Maybe I should have played [Hurts] a series or two this preseason, and I already wrote that in my notes.

"You know, second thought, if I had to do it over again right now, I would say, yeah, I would have played starters one or two drives in the preseason."

The Eagles went three-and-out on four straight possessions in the first half. Last season, the Eagles only had one game with four three-and-outs: their Week 17 loss to the New Orleans Saints with Gardner Minshew at quarterback.

Philadelphia managed just one touchdown drive, tied for the fewest in any Hurts start.

"Winning is the only thing that matters," Hurts said. "I think we obviously have things that we need to work on and have to be better in those situations when the ball is in my hands, and I take full accountability for that. But good thing about it is we get the opportunity to play on Thursday [against the Minnesota Vikings]."
