Eagles Pass Game Breakdown vs. Rams
First dropback of the game they motion the RB out wide into Empty for the man/zone indicator. The Rams show their cards with the pressure, and Hurts hit the speed out on time.
3rd and 4. Empty again. Hurts takes a deep drop but looks to be reading the Mesh, which is an odd marriage of the footwork to that concept. The crosser comes WIDE OPEN, but Hurts opts to scramble.

Were receivers getting open for Hurts but he wasn't pulling the trigger?
Let's look at the film:
Eagles work a 2-man concept in Redzone (Goedert post + Barkley corner), fairly similar to the TD they threw to Barkley in the opening game vs. GB.
Packers took everything away
Packers play Cover 3 while the Eagles release Goedert and Barkley to the flat, Dotson and Smith both run to the same depth and turn around (bad spacing).
You would like a route to sit down over short/intermediate middle here to complement the flat routes & stretch the middle zone defender.
