Summary

Monday night’s clash between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Philadelphia Eagles wasn’t the most efficient game of week 14, but it certainly wasn’t boring. That’s because Justin Herbert played through the pain of a surgically repaired left hand, and battled through seven sacks, to lead the home team to a 22-19 thriller of a win in overtime. And while that win helps the Chargers in their pursuit of a playoff spot, the question remains, how do Jim Harbaugh balance his quarterback’s health, with his team’s postseason push? For the Eagles and Jalen Hurts, it was a forgettable effort that leaves many of us asking, just who is this team really? Because when you can’t play bully ball and turn the ball over FIVE TIMES, are you truly a championship contender? Ben Baby joins the pod to break down all of the action from the final game of week 14 on the Bill Barnwell Show. 00:00 – Welcome to the Bill Barnwell Show 02:51 – Chargers defeat the Eagles 22-19 in an OT thriller 06:25 – Jalen Hurts and the Eagles can’t overcome mistakes 15:27 – Are the Eagles in freefall? 18:55 – Why aren’t the Eagles playing like champions? 21:04 – Justin Herbert’s heroics put the Chargers over the top 28:01 – How should the Chargers balance Herbert’s health and their playoff push? 34:05 – Are these the 2023 Eagles, the 2024 Eagles, or something else entirely? 41:20 – Thanks for watching!
