Philadelphia Eagles Gear Up for High-Stakes Monday Night Clash Against Los Angeles Chargers: Playoff Implications on the Line
Philadelphia, PA – December 7, 2025 – As the 2025 NFL season hurtles toward its climax, the Philadelphia Eagles are bracing for a pivotal road test against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night. This Week 14 showdown at SoFi Stadium promises fireworks, with both teams vying for momentum in their respective conferences.
The game kicks off at 8:15 PM ET (that’s 8:15 AM Tuesday, December 9, in Vietnam time), airing live on ABC and ESPN in the U.S. For international fans, streaming options include NFL+ (with a VPN if needed), FPT Play, or K+ Sports if they hold the rights. It’s a must-watch for Eagles supporters eager to see Jalen Hurts lead the charge after a rollercoaster stretch.
Eagles’ Resilient Run Amid Recent Setbacks
Sitting at 8-4, the Eagles hold a slim lead in the NFC East but know a slip-up could invite chaos from rivals like the Cowboys and Commanders. Their recent form has been a mixed bag: a gritty 10-7 road win over the Packers on November 10, followed by a defensive masterclass in a 16-9 victory against the Lions. However, back-to-back losses—a 21-24 heartbreaker to Dallas and a 15-24 defeat to the Bears on Thanksgiving—have tested their resolve.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts remains the heartbeat of this squad, boasting a 103.9 passer rating with 2,514 yards, 19 touchdowns, and just two interceptions through 12 games. His dual-threat prowess, paired with the explosive duo of Saquon Barkley in the backfield and wideouts A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, has powered 270 total points scored this season. “We’ve grown from those L’s,” Hurts said post-practice. “Chargers bring heat—we’re ready to answer.”
| TEAM | REC | SEASON | W% | GP | W | L | T | TD | PTS | PPG | OPP PTS | OPP PPG | 1DWN | 3DWN% | 4DWN% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eagles | 8-4 | 2025 | .667 | 12 | 8 | 4 | 0 | 34 | 270 | 22.5 | 249 | 20.8 | 205 | 34.5 | 64.7 |
Chargers’ Surge Under Harbaugh’s Watch
The host Chargers, also 8-4 and clinging to the fourth spot in the AFC West, have transformed into a balanced powerhouse since Jim Harbaugh took the reins. Justin Herbert’s cannon arm has delivered 2,842 yards, 21 touchdowns, and a 94.9 rating, though 10 picks highlight turnover concerns. Gus Edwards anchors a stout rushing attack, while the defense—ranked top-10 in points allowed—has suffocated opponents lately.
Los Angeles enters on a hot streak, including a statement win over the Steelers that solidified their wild-card hopes. Harbaugh’s old-school grit has instilled discipline, but vulnerabilities in the secondary could be exploited by Philadelphia’s aerial assault. “This is our house, our time,” Herbert declared, eyeing a statement victory to pressure the Chiefs above them.
