The Philadelphia Eagles travel to Los Angeles to take on the Chargers. Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers are second in the AFC West and sixth in the AFC, while the Eagles are third in the NFC and first in the NFC East.
The point difference between the two teams is very close, with the Eagles +21 and the Chargers +25. However, each team’s path to this point is very different.

Monday Night Football isn’t a must-win game for either team, but a loss can put pressure on both sides. Jalen Hurts got AJ Brown involved two weeks in a row, leading to back-to-back 100-yard performances. This comes at a cost, though, as the Eagles have lost two games in a row. Tonight felt like one of those “why haven’t they used Jalen Hurts’ legs like that all season?” type of game.
On the other hand, the Chargers’ offensive line should be strengthened and may look to protect Justin Herbert from too many hits, leading to a big night for Kimani Vidal. The Bears ran the ball in impressive fashion against the Eagles. Can the Chargers do the same thing without Jaylen Carter blocking him?
