A tightly contested Monday Night Football showdown awaits fans as the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Chargers — both entering Week 14 with matching 8-4 records — prepare to battle under the primetime spotlight. With playoff implications rising and both sides looking to gain late-season momentum, tonight’s clash at SoFi Stadium promises high-stakes football on a national stage.
A crucial week 14 matchup with major stakes
The Eagles arrive in Los Angeles seeking to break out of a two-game skid that has tightened the competition at the top of the NFC. Although their postseason hopes remain secure, their push for a top conference seed has become increasingly complex. As it stands, Philadelphia holds the lead in the NFC East, but trails the conference’s top contenders in the race for No. 1.
Across the field, the Chargers continue to build momentum behind an 8-4 campaign that has kept them firmly in the AFC postseason conversation. Quarterback Justin Herbert, who has been listed as questionable throughout the week, is still anticipated to start.
According to the reference update, Herbert “had surgery to fix a broken bone in his non-throwing hand,” yet remains on track to suit up for this pivotal matchup.
