A.J. Brown Criticizes Jalen Hurts for 5 Turnovers in Eagles’ Loss to Chargers
The Philadelphia Eagles are facing significant challenges as their struggles continue in the 2025-26 NFL season. After a promising 4-0 start, the defending Super Bowl champions are now in a slump, having lost three consecutive games. Their latest defeat was a heart-wrenching overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, leaving them with an overall record of 8-5.
A.J. Brown Critiques Jalen Hurts for Five Turnovers in Loss to Chargers
Jalen Hurts, the Eagles quarterback and previous Super Bowl MVP, has seen his performance decline as the season progresses. Hurts entered the recent matchup with five turnovers for the year, only to see that number balloon to ten after the game against the Chargers. This includes four interceptions and a fumble during their 22-19 loss.
Turnover Troubles and Team Dynamics
Following the game, Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown addressed the media regarding Hurts’ turnover issues. Brown emphasized the collective responsibility of the team, stating, “We are trying to get better. Obviously, as the quarterback, he’s going to get a lot of stuff for it, but we’re in this together.” He acknowledged the challenges Hurts faced, including pressure from the Chargers’ defense.
- Hurts had five turnovers against the Chargers.
- He became the first player in NFL history to have two turnovers on the same play.
- In the overtime period, Hurts threw an interception while attempting to pass to Johan Dotson.
The Eagles remain at the top of the NFC East, but their lead is tenuous. The Dallas Cowboys, currently at 6-6-1, are close behind and have a chance to contest the division title with four games left in the regular season. If Hurts cannot address his turnover problem, the Eagles risk repeating the latest fate of Super Bowl champions who miss the playoffs the following year.
Looking Ahead
The Eagles must regroup quickly to regain their early-season form and secure their place in the playoffs. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as the next few games could define their season. With heightened scrutiny on Hurts and the offense, the pressure will be on to turn things around in the coming matchups.
