"The Chiefs are no longer getting away with it, and maybe the Eagles aren't either. The defending Super Bowl champs are still leading the NFC East with an 8-5 record, but anyone who has watched this team closely will be forced to admit that the eternally pessimistic Eagles fans have a point this time-something is clearly not right here. The Eagles lost their third straight game on Monday night, dropping a 22-19 overtime snoozer to the Chargers."
"Hurts threw four interceptions, lost a fumble, and produced zero touchdowns. Those numbers look bad enough on their own, but it's the details that really make this performance sting. For one thing, Hurts's counterpart didn't play much better, though that had more to do with the Chargers' pathetic offensive line than anything else. Justin Herbert spent the entire game trying to avoid grievous bodily injury while getting sacked seven times and throwing for just 139 yards to go along with one interception and one touchdown."
"A team as talented as the Eagles should be able to win by several touchdowns any time the opposing quarterback is having that bad of a night, but Hurts insisted on making the game's biggest messes. None were worse than a play in the second quarter, on which Hurts became the first player to commit two turnovers on one play since 1978, which is as far back as the Elias Sports Bureau is able to research."
Defending Super Bowl champions lead the NFC East 8-5 but are visibly struggling. The Eagles lost their third straight game, falling 22-19 in overtime to the Chargers. Jalen Hurts threw four interceptions, lost a fumble, and produced no touchdowns. Justin Herbert also faced hardship, getting sacked seven times and throwing for only 139 yards with one touchdown and one interception behind a weak Chargers offensive line. A rare double-turnover sequence occurred in the second quarter, and an even larger turnover happened in overtime while the Eagles were driving into Chargers territory.
