Last week, Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles’offense watched a 22-to-19 overtime loss slip away against the Los Angeles Chargers. While the Eagles Nation tried to process another missed chance, the league office stepped in. On Sunday, the NFL delivered news that added more weight to an already frustrating week for the unit in midnight green.

The league announced a fine of $4,666 for tight end Cameron Latu following a helmet-related violation in the first quarter with 3:22 remaining.

The incident happened when the Chargers were up 7 to 3 at SoFi Stadium in the City of Angels. Facing fourth and eight, Chargers running back Kimani Vidal received the football near the 10-yard line. As he crossed the 30, Cameron Latu closed in. The Eagles’ tight end brought him down, stopping the drive and briefly shifting momentum.

Soon after, safety Andre’ Sam joined the punishment list. He was fined $4,741 for a similar helmet issue that occurred right at the start of overtime. As a result, what was already a sloppy night now carried official consequences from New York.

Interestingly, Week 14 was busy across the league. In total, 12 unnecessary roughness penalties drew fines. Still, Latu’s situation stood out for the Birds.

Against the Chargers, his offensive role was almost invisible. He played just five of the Eagles’ 71 offensive snaps. More importantly, he never saw a single target.

Latu has been active for every Eagles game since Week 2. Yet his impact remains far from the offense at the Linc. Most of his work comes on special teams. Across 59 offensive snaps this season, he still has not drawn one target. For now, that reality remains unchanged.

However, apart from the punishment, another big issue from week 15 was performance. The Eagles have to look into it.

A poor performance for Jalen Hurts and co.

It was a chaotic Monday night inside SoFi Stadium, and the Bolts found a way to survive while the Birds unraveled late. In overtime, Tony Jefferson stepped in front of Jalen Hurts at the 1-yard line and ended it. That single play sealed a messy loss for the Eagles. Worse, it marked a third straight defeat.

Then the numbers told a rough story. Hurts finished 21 of 40 for 240 yards. However, the four interceptions changed everything. Early on, things spiraled fast.

On one wild first-quarter snap, Hurts was picked off. Then came a fumble. Da’Shawn Hand grabbed the interception but lost it himself. Hurts recovered. Still, he fumbled again. Troy Dye scooped it up, and the Bolts took over. From that moment, the night felt off. Afterward, Hurts owned it.

“We lost the game,” Hurts said post-game, “and I didn’t play well enough to help us to win the game.”

However, the damage went beyond him. They committed five turnovers. They also took six penalties for 53 yards. Still, Nick Sirianni saw some positives.

“I thought the defense did a lot of good things, and the offense moved the ball against a really good defense, but we didn’t finish,” he said.  “We kicked a lot of field goals and had some turnovers. It’s hard to beat a team on the road when you’re not finishing drives and getting three points. I have to put that on myself.”

Now, the defending champions now sit at 8 and 5, and Eagles Nation felt every bit of it. So, they have to bounce back as soon as next game week.
