Eagles vs. Chargers game recap: Everything we know
Justin Herbert showed why he’s one of the top-five young signal-callers in the NFL, tossing two touchdown passes and running for a score, as a Dustin Hopkins 29-yard field goal with 2 seconds remaining, gave the Los Angeles Chargers a 27-24 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
Herbert threw for 356 yards, completing 32 of 38 passes.
The Chargers (5-3) snapped a two-game losing streak. The Eagles (3-6) still haven’t won a home game in 2021.

It was over when
Derek Barnett jumped offsides and turned a 3rd-and-6 at the 28 into a 3rd-and-1 on the 23 that the Chargers easily converted on a quarterback keeper on the way to a 4th-quarter touchdown.
