Chargers Edge Eagles in OT as Hurts’ 5 Turnovers Prove Costly

Five giveaways by Hurts, including a rare two on one play, defined the night for an Eagles team now on a three-game slide.

Overview

  • Cameron Dicker went 5-for-5 on field goals, drilling a 54-yarder in overtime before safety Tony Jefferson sealed it with an interception at the Eagles’ 17 after a Cam Hart tip.
  • Hurts went 21-of-40 for 240 yards with four interceptions and a lost fumble, including the first instance since at least 1978 of two turnovers on one play, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
  • Saquon Barkley delivered Philadelphia’s only touchdown on a 52-yard run and finished with 122 rushing yards on 20 carries.
  • The Eagles sacked Justin Herbert seven times, yet the Chargers quarterback, a week after left-hand surgery, posted 139 passing yards with a touchdown and interception, lost a fumble, and ran for 66 yards.
  • Los Angeles improved to 9-4 to bolster its AFC playoff standing, while Philadelphia dropped to 8-5 with a third straight loss.
