PHILADELPHIA—Jalen Hurts forced a throw into double coverage, one of his worst passes in years, and was picked off. A.J. Brown—he of the nearly 1,500 yards receiving a year ago—threw a tantrum on the sidelines when the ball didn’t come his way.

And yes, already, in the Eagles’ home opener, fans booed the NFC champions in the first half when a string of offensive plays went nowhere.
