Tough race in the standings

The winner of this duel gains an important position in the fight for the playoffs and a possible bye in the first round.
The decisive moment is approaching
The Chargers advance down the field offensively with a second down for six yards at the 42. Justin Herbert looks for a short connection with Ladd McConkey on the last play recorded. The Eagles defense presses hard at the line of scrimmage.
The clock reads 14:11 left in the fourth quarter. Possession of the ball takes on maximum weight in this final stretch of Monday Night Football.
Situation of the attacking teams
Philadelphia relies on runs from Saquon Barkley to control the clock. The Eagles aerial attack ran into trouble with Hurts’ two interceptions. The offensive line suffers from the absence of Lane Johnson, inactive with a foot injury.
Los Angeles bets on Herbert’s short passes. The team converts third downs well, but fails in the red zone: only one touchdown in two visits. The defense records six sacks against the opposing offense.
