Eagles' Jalen Hurts Struggles in Overtime Loss to Chargers

In a tense Monday Night Football matchup, the Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 22-19 in overtime, marking the Eagles' third consecutive loss. Quarterback Jalen Hurts had a night to forget, throwing four interceptions and losing a fumble, resulting in five turnovers overall for Philadelphia.

Notably, Hurts made NFL history by becoming the first player to record two turnovers on a single play, as he was intercepted and then fumbled the ball, which was recovered by the Chargers. Despite Hurts' struggles, running back Saquon Barkley managed a strong performance with 122 rushing yards and a touchdown.

The Eagles had a chance to win the game but Hurts' final pass was intercepted by Tony Jefferson at the one-yard line to seal the victory for Los Angeles. The Chargers' Cameron Dicker was perfect on the night, kicking five field goals, including a 54-yarder in overtime to secure the win.

The Eagles, now 8-5, must address their offensive woes if they hope to maintain their playoff positioning, especially with upcoming games against weaker opponents like the 2-11 Raiders and 3-10 Commanders.

According to Next Gen Stats, the Eagles still hold a 93% chance of making the playoffs due to their remaining schedule, despite their recent struggles on the field.
