Chargers Edge Eagles in OT as Dicker Hits 5 Field Goals, Jefferson Seals Win

Jalen Hurts’ five-turnover night included a rare two-turnover sequence confirmed by Elias.

Overview

  • Cameron Dicker went 5-for-5 on field goals, drilling a 46-yarder to force overtime and a 54-yarder to secure the 22-19 Monday Night Football win at SoFi Stadium.
  • Safety Tony Jefferson ended the game with an interception at the 1-yard line in overtime, moments after a neutral zone infraction gave Philadelphia a fourth-down reprieve.
  • Hurts finished 21-of-40 for 240 yards with four interceptions and a lost fumble, and he was charged with two turnovers on one snap after a Da'Shawn Hand interception and Troy Dye recovery, a rarity Elias says dates back to at least 1978.
  • Los Angeles improved to 9-4 to strengthen its AFC playoff position, with odds rising to 80% per The Athletic’s simulator, while Philadelphia fell to 8-5 yet remains atop the NFC East.
  • Justin Herbert started a week after surgery on his fractured non-throwing hand, going 12-of-26 for 139 yards with a touchdown and an interception, adding 66 rushing yards while being sacked seven times.
