- The episode also shows Hurts accepting blame for a late quarterback‑sneak fumble, saying he needed to secure the ball after the Bears punched it out.
- Philadelphia’s 24-15 defeat to Chicago marked a second straight loss and intensified scrutiny of the offense and coordinator Kevin Patullo.

- The Eagles are 8-4 and head to Los Angeles to face the 8-4 Chargers in Week 14, a matchup with clear playoff implications following recent struggles.
