Los Angeles struggled mightily on the offensive side of the ball for the majority of the game, but the defense did its part to propel the Chargers to an overtime win.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, it would appear that quarterback Justin Herbert got out of the game without making his hand injury worse, even though he took plenty of punishment over the course of the evening.<\/p>\n

Entering Week 15, the Chargers sit with a 78% chance to make the postseason but have just a 13% chance to win the AFC West, according to the New York Times Playoff Simulator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Vinnie Iyer, The Sporting News: 10 (+1)<\/a><\/p>\n

Iyer: “The\u00a0Chargers\u00a0and Justin Herbert, injured hand behind shaky offensive line and all, stayed strong through pressure and adversity to help the team grind out a much-needed overtime win over the Eagles on Monday night. They have good momentum for the rematch with the Chiefs<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Nate Davis, USA TODAY: 12 (+7)<\/a><\/p>\n

Davis: “So many of their key players have been hit with injuries. But when you’re led by tough guys like QB Justin Herbert and OLB Khalil Mack, who have shrugged off their own physical setbacks, and now have rookie RB Omarion Hampton back in the fold, then you’re a team wired well to deal with late-season (and postseason) adversity.”<\/p>\n

NFL Nation, ESPN: 13 (+1)<\/a><\/p>\n

Kris Rhim: “Herbert has been uncharacteristically reckless with the football in 2025. Last season, he had the fewest interceptions in the NFL (three), reinforcing his place as one of the league’s best decision-makers. This season has been a different story. His 11 interceptions are already his second most in a single season, and he threw one Monday night. Herbert’s career high for interceptions was 15 in 2021.”<\/p>\n

Prisco: “Given their daunting schedule, that might have been a season-saving win over the Eagles on Monday night. Justin Herbert showed a lot playing through the hand injury.”<\/p>\n
