Niners Nation
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 sit atop the NFC East.
Both teams are close to each other in point differential, as the Eagles are +21 and the Chargers are +25. However, the path to this point has been drastically different for each team.
Monday Night Football isn’t a must-win for either team, but a loss would put pressure on both. Jalen Hurts has gotten A.J. Brown involved two weeks in a row, leading to back-to-back 100-yard performances. That has come at a cost, though, as the Eagles have lost two games in a row. Tonight feels like one of those “Why haven’t they been using Jalen Hurts’ legs like that all season?” kind of games.
On the flipside, the Chargers should get a boost along the offensive line, and might want to protect Justin Herbert from being exposed to too many hits, leading to a big night from Kimani Vidal. The Bears ran the ball in impressive fashion against the Eagles. Can the Chargers do the same without Jalen Carter to block?
