Hurts loses ball twice on same play as Eagles beaten
Hurts led the Eagles to the Super Bowl title last season but is on a three-game losing streak [Getty Images]The Los Angeles Chargers claimed an overtime win over the Philadelphia Eagles in a game where Jalen Hurt lost the ball twice on one play.
The bizarre incident happened in the second quarter when the Eagles quarterback was intercepted by Da'Shawn Hand. The Chargers player then fumbled the ball and Hurts gathered it up, only to then lose the ball again when he was tackled.
Reports from the US indicate it is the first time since records of this nature began in 1978 that a player has turned the ball over twice on the same play.
Hurts threw a career-high four interceptions at the SoFi Stadium in California, the final one coming when Tony Jefferson picked off a pass at the one-yard line to end the game in overtime.
Cameron Dicker had earlier kicked what turned out to be a game-winning 54-yard field goal in the extra period to match his career-high five field goals in a single game.
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, who played after undergoing surgery on a fractured hand on 1 December, completed 12 of 26 passes for 139 yards.
The Chargers are second in the AFC West after making it five wins from their past six outings, while the reigning Super Bowl champions are top of the NFC East despite losing for a third successive game.
Both sides return to action on 14 December at 20:00 GMT, with the Chargers travelling to the Kansas City Chiefs and the Eagles hosting the Las Vegas Raiders.
