Unfortunately for Eagles backers, the underdog Chargers covered the spread and pulled off the upset.

Injury Report: Key Absences and Questionables

The Eagles entered the game banged up, with defensive tackle Jalen Carter ruled out due to shoulder issues and right tackle Lane Johnson sidelined with a foot injury – both significant blows to the lines. Safety Marcus Epps, however, was activated from Injured Reserve and returned after missing four games.

On the Chargers' side, quarterback Justin Herbert was questionable with a broken left hand but suited up and played through it. Rookie running back Omarion Hampton, out since Week 5 with a fractured ankle, was also questionable but activated and made an impact, including a touchdown reception. The Chargers had 10 players on their injury report overall, including defensive lineman Da'Shawn Hand (illness).

Inactives for the Eagles included no major surprises beyond the reported outs, while the Chargers' list highlighted their excitement over Hampton's return.

Starting Lineups and Key Performances

The Eagles rolled out their projected starters, led by quarterback Jalen Hurts under center. The offensive lineup included RB Saquon Barkley, who was a bright spot with 20 carries for 122 yards and a 52-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith anchored the passing game, with tight end Dallas Goedert also contributing. Defensively, linebacker Jalyx Hunt (2.5 sacks) and edge rusher Nolan Smith stepped up in Carter's absence.

For the Chargers, Justin Herbert quarterbacked the offense, with rookie RB Omarion Hampton and Kimani Vidal handling rushing duties. Their depth chart showed a solid front, but the Eagles' pass rush sacked Herbert seven times.

The game was a turnover fest, with the Eagles committing five (including four interceptions from Hurts, a career high) while forcing three from the Chargers. Philly outgained L.A. 365-275 in total yards but couldn't overcome the mistakes. Kicker Cameron Dicker was the hero for the Chargers, going 5-for-5 on field goals, including the game-winner from 54 yards in overtime after safety Tony Jefferson's interception sealed the deal.

Panthers Legend Furious, Calls for Team to Reclaim His Rights Because NFL is So Unfair!
Can you believe it? Cam Newton, the immortal icon of the Carolina Panthers, is absolutely raging! Overnight, the bombshell from Philip Rivers has pushed the 2015 MVP legend to speak out, accusing the NFL of playing "double standards" and urging his old team, the Panthers, to stand up and demand justice for him! Imagine this: Philip Rivers, the 44 year old veteran who's been retired for a full 5 years, suddenly signs a contract to return with the Indianapolis Colts after Daniel Jones' horrific injury (torn Achilles). This isn't Hollywood fiction, it's a shocking NFL reality! Rivers, once a "family member" of the Colts, is welcomed back like a hero, while Cam Newton, the guy who led the Panthers to Super Bowl 50 and still has a burning passion, is tossed aside like yesterday's trash. In the latest episode of his podcast 4th and 1 (released on 12/10/2025), Newton couldn't hold back anymore. He roared: "Did Philip Rivers send any signals that he's ready? I haven't and won't retire! For an opportunity like this! I don't care if he's 'family' to them. He's 44, bro! Why do you hold Cam Newton to sky high standards that you don't apply to everyone else?" Newton's words are like a punch straight to the NFL's face! He feels this is a "slap in the face" to his illustrious career, from being the No. 1 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, to 2015 MVP, to being "discarded" after the 2021 season. Newton has never officially retired, and now he's calling on the Panthers, the team that was once his home, to take action! "Demand my rights back! The NFL is unfair, and Panthers fans deserve a legend's return!", That's the implicit message Newton is sending, shattering the hearts of millions of fans. Cam Says CALL HIM After Rivers Returns, Shedeur DISRESPECT Continues & Richard Sherman WRONGNew episode of 4th&1 out now!📺: https://t.co/hdru5DuZV7 pic.twitter.com/or8TykRhYd — 4th&1 with Cam Newton (@4thand1show) December 10, 2025 Remember? Newton returned to the Panthers in 2021 as a PR stunt, but the terrible head coach Matt Rhule ruined it all. Rhule blamed Newton, firing offensive coordinator Joe Brady right after Brady spent the entire bye week working with him. The result? Newton failed, and the NFL turned its back. Now, with Rivers being "resurrected" at 44, Newton sees the bias clearly: "Connections" and "family ties" are the key, not talent! Panthers fans are boiling over! They've idolized Newton from day one, and now this story is like a tragedy: Their hero forgotten, while "old man" Rivers gets a golden chance. Newton still has the passion, still wants to play, so why not give him a shot? Is this the moment the Panthers rise up and push the NFL to reconsider? Or will we see Newton explode even more on media?
