The Philadelphia Eagles are back in action to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in a Week 14 edition of Monday Night Football.
The Birds are looking to snap a two-game losing streak by beating the Bolts, who’ve won four of their last five games. We’ll see if Philly can move one step closer to clinching the NFC East or if they continue to collapse down the stretch.
Follow along here for live score updates, highlights, injury news, analysis, and more before this article ultimately turns into our game recap. The best place to actually discuss the game as it happens is still in our open threads for each quarter, the first of which you can find here.
FIRST QUARTER
- The Chargers won the coin toss and elected to defer to put the Eagles on offense first. The Eagles began at their own 33-yard line. Jalen Hurts went downfield to A.J. Brown on a second effort but the wide receiver couldn’t make the catch with his hands extended. Brown didn’t exactly look very fast or extra motivated on that play. Then Saquon Barkley ran for one yard. Facing 3rd-and-9, Hurts hit Dallas Goedert (on a hitch!) near the marker for a first down. Not a three-and-out! Awesome start! Facing 3rd-and-4 after going up tempo, Hurts got sacked while trying to throw from an empty backfield. Six plays, seven yards, punt. More boring and bad offense.
- The Chargers took over at their own 20-yard line. Facing 3rd-and-7, Herbert dumped off to Kimani Vidal for a 60-yard catch-and-run with Nakobe Dean messing up in coverage and then missing a tackle in recovery and Zack Baun eventually managing to push the Chargers running back out of bounds. Then Omarion Hampton took a toss for a first down into goal-to-go. A couple plays later, Justin Herbert hit Hampton for a touchdown with some uncalled OPI assistance. EAGLES 0, CHARGERS 7.
- The Eagles took over at their own 35-yard line. Barkley took a carry that picked up 19 yards. Then another that picked up another first down. Run blocking back!? Then the Eagles got set back with a Tyler Steen holding penalty (really weak call). Hurts took another deep shot, this one to DeVonta Smith, and the ball was overthrown/off target. Facing 3rd-and-11, Hurts hit Goedert over the middle (!) for a first down. Nice to see they didn’t just run the ball and give up! Facing 3rd-and-9, a bubble screen to DeVonta picked up just one yard. Thanks, I hate it. Jake Elliott came in for the 41-yard field goal make. EAGLES 3, CHARGERS 7.
- The Chargers took over at their own 34-yard line. Facing 3rd-and-7 after a big Jordan Davis TFL, the Chargers got hit with a false start due to crowd noise by Eagles fans in LA’s stadium. Facing 3rd-and-12, the Chargers had a free play with Moro Ojomo jumping early (Cooper DeJean’s interception didn’t count). Facing 3rd-and-7 again, a blitzing Nakobe Dean was left unblocked and got to Herbert to force an incompletion that should’ve been called intentional grounding but wasn’t.
- The Eagles took over at their own 10-yard line. They gained five yards on two plays to bring up the end of the first quarter.
