This fumble by Jalen Hurts was his second turnover in a single play.IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect / ReutersThis is one of the wilder turnovers of this or any season — and a bad look for Jalen Hurts in the box score.With Philadelphia threatening to score its first touchdown Monday night in the second quarter against the Chargers, the Eagles faced third-and-2 at the Los Angeles 21. Hurts forced a pass to A.J. Brown on a slant as Brown was surrounded by three defenders. Da’Shawn Hand was positioned perfectly for the interception and picked the ball off just beyond the line of gain.Hand, being a defensive lineman, is not too familiar with handling the ball. And it showed. As he returned the ball, running back Will Shipley punched it out from behind, sending it hurtling back in Hurts’ direction.Hurts was able to corral the ball. But just for a moment. no idea what happened here but our ball📺 | @espnpic.twitter.com/sdvwsI7Rl1— Los Angeles Chargers (@chargers) December 9, 2025Almost as soon as Hurts gained control, 340-pound defensive tackle Jamaree Caldwell was on top of him. And Caldwell successfully dislodged the ball. Chargers linebacker Troy Dye got to it first from there and made the wise decision, considering all that he’d just witnessed. Dye jumped on the ball and secured it on the turf with no effort for a return. The end result of the play saw the Chargers take over possession. If you’re counting, that’s an interception thrown by Hurts to Hand, a lost fumble by Hand, a fumble recovery by Hurts, a lost fumble by Hurts and a fumble recovery by Dye. And yes, that’s two turnovers on one play for Philadelphia’s quarterback. The Chargers converted the turnover into a field goal for a 10-3 lead late in the second quarter. And in a season filled with frustration for Philadelphia’s offense, this may be the new low point.
