NFL News: Eagles, Chargers confound fans with fumble fracas

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was involved in a crazy play Monday night after throwing an interception to Los Angeles Chargers defensive lineman Da’Shawn Hand.

The hand dropped back into coverage on the snap and Hurts threw it to wide receiver AJ Brown, who was triple covered. Hand was there to intercept the pass and began running it upfield. However, he fumbled while trying to retrieve the ball.

Hurts picked up the ball and thought he had saved the game for a minute. Instead, the ball was knocked out of his hands. Finally, Chargers linebacker Troy Dye got the ball back. Hurts committed two turnovers in one game.

The Chargers kicked a field goal on their next drive to take a 10–3 lead.
