Eagles' Jalen Hurts Struggles in Loss to Chargers

The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a disappointing 22-19 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, marking their third consecutive defeat and raising concerns over their playoff prospects. Quarterback Jalen Hurts had a particularly rough game, throwing four interceptions, including a historic double-turnover play where he was intercepted by Chargers defensive lineman DaShawn Hand, fumbled upon recovery, and then fumbled again as he attempted to advance the ball.

This chaotic sequence made Hurts the first player in NFL history to commit two turnovers on a single play, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The Eagles struggled overall, committing five turnovers, while Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker was instrumental, hitting five field goals, including a 54-yarder that gave Los Angeles the lead.

Hurts completed 21 of 40 passes for 240 yards, a stark contrast to his previous performances, and his struggles have led to discussions about the Eagles' ability to maintain their playoff position despite still leading the NFC East.

Meanwhile, the Chargers improved their playoff chances to 76% with this victory, as they now hold a 9-4 record. The Eagles, despite their current form, still have a favorable schedule ahead, including games against the 3-10 Washington Commanders and the 2-11 Raiders, which could help them secure a postseason spot.
