Overtime Thriller: Eagles vs. Chargers Tied After Regulation
9 Dec
Summary
- Eagles and Chargers game tied 19-19 at end of regulation.
- Cameron Dicker kicked four field goals, including a late equalizer.
- New 2025 NFL overtime rules match postseason format.
The highly anticipated "Monday Night Football" clash between the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Chargers in Week 14 was forced into overtime, with the score tied at 19 points apiece as regulation concluded. This dramatic finish underscores the excitement of the updated NFL overtime rules for the 2025 regular season, which mirror the postseason format implemented in 2022.
The overtime period featured a tense battle, with Los Angeles kicker Cameron Dicker successfully converting his fourth field goal of the game from 46 yards with mere seconds remaining, leveling the score. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts subsequently managed the clock by kneeling, sending the game into the extra 10-minute period.
Under the current overtime regulations, each team is guaranteed an opportunity to possess the ball, determined by a coin toss. The only exception is if the receiving team concedes a safety on the first possession. The team with more points after both have had a chance to score wins. If the score remains tied after these possessions, the game ends in a tie, a fate previously experienced by the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys earlier in the season.
