The Los Angeles Chargers moved to 9-4 with a dramatic 22-19 overtime victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, sealing their win with a crucial interception near the end zone.
The Los Angeles Chargers forced Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts to commit a career-high in turnovers, including a game-winning interception in overtime near the end zone to seal a 22-19 victory on „Monday Night Football.“
Both the Eagles and Chargers came into this game with an 8-4 record, but it’s the latter who helped their playoff chances as they move to 9-4.
Meanwhile, the Eagles, still owners of the NFC East lead, moved to 8-5.
It was a turnover-filled game for both of these teams, but it was Hurts who had five total turnovers as he threw four interceptions, including one on what could’ve been a game-winning drive in overtime.
On first-and-10 from the Chargers’ 17-yard line and down three points, Hurts sold a play-action to Saquon Barkley and rolled out to his right. He was looking to hit Jahan Dotson near the goal line, but Cam Hart, who had one of the interceptions earlier in the game, laid out and made a tremendous tip of the pass.
Safety Tony Jefferson was streaking over to cover Dotson, and he quickly located the football in the air, secured it, and stayed in bounds as SoFi Stadium erupted.
It was a play that helped the Chargers squeak out a victory at home, but it wasn’t easy as the Eagles’ defense kept their team in the game with forced turnovers themselves.
