Nick Sirianni slams ‘ridiculous’ calls to bench Jalen Hurts amid Eagles’ skid

• Sirianni backs Hurts amid turnover slump

• Fans booed as Eagles dropped third straight

• QB change talk ridiculous', Sirianni says

Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni moved quickly on Wednesday to shut down the rising speculation around Jalen Hurts' job security, calling talk of a potential quarterback change ridiculous" despite his team's three-game losing streak and their franchise star's sudden dip in form.

Hurts committed five turnovers - four interceptions and a lost fumble - in Monday night's 22-19 defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers, punctuating one of the ugliest outings of his career. The final mistake, an interception near the goalline in overtime, sealed another deflating loss for an Eagles side that has averaged just 16 points across the past five games. The 8-5 Eagles have not won since 10 November.
