"It was a play that encapsulated everything that went right - and wrong - for the Chargers on defense against the Philadelphia Eagles at SoFi Stadium on Monday night. On a third down in the second quarter, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw a pass intended for A.J. Brown that was picked off by De'Shawn Hand. Will Shipley then punched the ball loose and Hurts recovered. Moments after that, Jamaree Caldwell forced another fumble before Troy Dye pounced on it to end a wild, three-turnover sequence."
"Moments of jubilation ultimately outweighed periods of frustration for the Chargers' defense, which picked off Hurts four times and forced five turnovers in a 22-19 overtime win. Hurts passed for 240 yards and the Eagles had 365 total yards, but turnovers proved too costly for the defending Super Bowl champions to overcome. "What a team we have, they refuse to lose, just a great feeling of winning," Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said."
Chargers' defense forced five turnovers, intercepting Jalen Hurts four times and converting takeaways into scoring opportunities that produced a 22-19 overtime victory. De'Shawn Hand's interception led to a fumble recovery sequence involving Will Shipley, Jamaree Caldwell and Troy Dye. Saquon Barkley's 52-yard touchdown on a fake tush-push gave the Eagles their only lead. Cam Hart's interception and Dustin Dicker's three field goals, including a 46-yard game-tying kick, sent the game to overtime. Hurts finished with 240 passing yards and the Eagles totaled 365 yards, but turnovers ultimately decided the outcome. Coach Jim Harbaugh praised the defense.
