Why Jalen Hurts Struggles vs Zone Blitz Defenses

Jalen Hurts has been one of the NFL’s most dynamic quarterbacks, but his efficiency drops sharply against zone blitzes — and that’s exactly what he’ll face in Minnesota.

When defenses sit in two-high shells and send pressure from zone looks, Hurts averages just 6.9 yards per attempt (23rd in the league) compared to 8.7 YPA vs man blitzes (7th-best). The Vikings run zone blitzes on 80% of their pressures, the second-highest rate in football.

This film breakdown from Sharp Football Analysis shows how defensive structure impacts Hurts’ reads, timing, and decision-making — and why Minnesota’s scheme could create real problems for Philadelphia’s passing attack this week.
