Cameron Dicker kicks a 54-yard field goal – his fifth of the night – in OT, then Jefferson intercepts a deflected Jalen Hurts pass at the 1-yard line to seal a 22-19 victory. Chargers QB Justin Herbert, playing with a broken left hand, throws for 138 yards and a TD.
A defensive play won the game for the Chargers.
Tony Jefferson intercepted a tipped pass at his own 1-yard line and the Chargers took a 22-19 victory over the Eagles in overtime, a wild ending to a wild game that saw Cam Hart deflect Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts’ pass intended for Jahan Dotson and Jefferson reach out and snare it with his right hand.
Jake Elliott’s 44-yard field goal with 2:16 left in the game broke a 16-16 tie, leaving the Chargers with time to drive for a tying or go-ahead score. The Chargers took advantage and tied it 19-19 on Cameron Dicker’s 46-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining, sending the game to overtime.
In overtime, Dicker kicked his fifth field goal, a 54-yard boot that gave the Chargers a 22-19 lead with 6:24 remaining in the 10-minute extra period. Hurts drove the Eagles to the Chargers’ 17-yard line, but his first-and-10 pass was intercepted, ending the game. It was the Chargers’ fourth pick of Hurts, who also fumbled once (on the same play after he had thrown an interception).
Philadelphia’s Saquon Barkley ran 52 yards for a go-ahead touchdown, giving the Eagles their first lead at 16-13 with 14:51 remaining in a game that had evolved into a field goal kicking contest after Herbert directed the Chargers to an 80-yard scoring drive on their first possession of the game.
