Jalen Hurts’ Thursday night meltdown against the New York Giants has made him one of the biggest talking points online. The Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback struggled throughout the game, committing costly errors that helped the Giants secure a stunning 34-17 win.
It was the Eagles’ second straight loss, and Hurts’ performance quickly turned into meme material across social media. Fans and analysts tore into him for his poor decision-making and missed opportunities.
His first interception of the season came at the worst possible time, deep in the red zone, leading directly to a Giants touchdown. He also missed wide-open targets, including a misfire to DeVonta Smith that could have changed the tone of the game. As the mistakes piled up, so did the ridicule.
After the loss, Antonio Brown decided to join in on the trolling. The former NFL wide receiver, known for his chaotic social media presence, jumped at the chance to take a shot at Hurts. Brown has built a reputation for targeting public figures online, often stirring controversy with mocking posts and sarcastic comments.
This time, his focus was on the struggling Eagles quarterback. Brown posted an AI-generated image of basketball star Angel Reese in an Eagles jersey and captioned it with a short four-word jab implying that’s how Hurts played against the Giants.
“Jalen Hurts last night,” Brown wrote.

The comparison stung even more because Reese herself is often criticized for missing easy layups and inconsistent play, making Brown’s mockery hit harder. For Hurts, the timing couldn’t be worse. The Eagles have now dropped two straight games, and frustration among fans is growing.
With social media feeding off every misstep, Antonio Brown’s jab became the latest viral moment at Hurts’ expense. As Philadelphia looks to recover, the pressure on Hurts to silence both his critics and the trolls has never been higher.
Jalen Hurts Took Accountability for the Loss
Hurts is the backbone of the Eagles’ lineup. So, his failure hurts the team more. The quarterback understands the responsibility that’s on his shoulders and isn’t shying away from admitting that he let his team down against the Giants.
After the game, Hurts blamed himself for the loss, stating that he needs to do better. While the loss must’ve been disappointing for the team, he believes he can turn it around.
“I’ve got to be better, I’ve got to be better,” Hurts said. “I take ownership for it. A lot of opportunity there with the ball in my hands, and given those situations, I have to be wiser and more detailed with it. Always looking inward first, looking inward on the things that I can control. I see a lot of opportunity in this.”
Even in loss and when he’s being trashed online, Hurts is keeping a positive outlook. This attitude might be helpful in preparation for the Vikings game next Sunday.
