Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh was overjoyed after his team pulled out a 22-19 overtime victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday at SoFi Stadium.
Harbaugh, 61, compared the overtime victory to some of the highlights of his personal life when asked if he had ever been part of such a game.
“This is definitely — maybe the best feeling. Just a wonderful feeling to win and (the thrill of the win). It’s definitely in the discussion, I would put it in the discussion about the birth of seven children, my marriage, you know? In the conversation,” Harbaugh told reporters in his postgame press conference.

“Just happy, happy and the biblical definition of it is just overflowing with joy.”
Harbaugh compared the game to a heavyweight match. The game was certainly not pretty, as there were a total of eight turnovers.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was responsible for five of those turnovers, two of which improbably came on the same play. Hurts’ five turnovers were a career high. Hurts completed 21 of 40 passes for 240 yards and four interceptions while rushing for eight yards in the loss.
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, who had surgery on his left hand just seven days before the game, also threw an interception and was strip-sacked in the first half.

Herbert struggled to find traction in the passing game, but was effective as a runner. The 27-year-old completed 12 of 26 passes for 139 yards with one touchdown and one interception while running the ball 10 times for 66 yards.
The Chargers’ win keeps them in the playoffs as they improved to 9-4. They are second in the AFC West behind the Denver Broncos (11-2) but hold the No. 5 seed in the AFC, which is certainly one reason Harbaugh is so happy about the win.
