Well, you've come to the right place.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Editorials</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>In Week 15 of the 2025 NFL season, the two reigning Super Bowl Championship quarterbacks will duke it out at Lincoln Financial Field when the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/updated-eagles-chargers-playoff-chances-week-14-overtime-tilt">Philadelphia Eagles take on the Las Vegas Raiders</a>.</p><p>Now granted, their workload wasn’t exactly the same in the “Big Game.” Jalen Hurts won the Super Bowl MVP after completing 17 of his 22 passing attempts for 221 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, 72 rushing yards, and a rushing touchdown. And as for Kenny Pickett, his former backup who will <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-pete-carroll-says-kenny-pickett-will-start-vs-eagles">start in Week 15 thanks to a Geno Smith shoulder injury</a>? Well, he missed his lone passing attempt and kneeled down three times for -4 yards on the way to the win, but technically they both played for the Philadelphia Eagles and have the hardware to prove it.</p><p>On paper, if there was ever a quarterback who knew the Eagles’ defense in and out in what has to be considered a trap game, it would be Pickett, as he spent a year practicing against it weekly before being traded from Philadelphia to Cleveland, and finally Sin City. However, the Raiders and Eagles really find themselves in different spots heading into their fourth-to-last games of the regular season.</p><p>For the Eagles, after suffering their third-straight loss, this game provides an opportunity to not just get back in the winner’s column but secure a few style points along the way, proving to fans, pundits, and haters alike that they can still run the ball, Jalen Hurts’ five interception game was an aberration, and, most crucially of all, the NFC East still runs through South Philly.</p><p>And as for the Raiders? Well, they have four more games to play in this first season under Pete Carroll, which will almost certainly result in some massive changes when the campaign comes to a conclusion.</p><p>While this feels like one of the least eventful games of the Week 15 slate, that doesn’t mean it won’t provide some interesting data points to ponder heading into the playoffs, as at this point, there really isn’t much regular season left to play.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Kenny-Pickett-playing-for-the-Eagles.jpg"><figcaption>Geoff Burke-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2>Vic Fangio welcomes back Kenny Pickett with a sack party</h2><p>Heading into 2025, the Las Vegas Raiders thought they could take a page from Carroll’s old Seattle Seahawks playbook and complement his old quarterback with Beast Mode 2.0, Ashton Jeanty.</p><p>On paper, it’s a solid enough strategy, as controlling the game on the ground can help to manage the clock, open up the passing game, and provide a young team with some stability as they look to buy into a new scheme and regime. But with four games left to play in 2025, the Raiders have been the <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rai/2025.htm" rel="noopener">worst rushing team in football</a>, averaging the fewest rushing yards, the fewest rushing touchdowns, and the second-fewest rushing attempts, despite Jeanty being available as an everyday starter.</p><p>Could the Raiders try to establish things on the ground in Week 15 against the Eagles? Sure, but if they can’t or find themselves behind early on, the pressure will be on for Pickett to throw his team back into the game, which is easier said than done against a Vic Fangio defense that can pick up sacks in a hurry when things start to snowball in their favor.</p><p>On the season, the Eagles only have 31 sacks, but in Week 14, Fangio earned seven of them, with Jalyx Hunt recording 2.5, Jordan Davis earning 1.5, and one-time Raiders draftee Byron Young getting 1.5 as well. The Eagles’ secondary did a solid enough job slowing down a Chargers’ receiving corps without a true No. 1, and when Fangio decided to really go all-in on getting after an injured Justin Herbert, sending Zach Baun or a hair-on-fire Nakobe deal from the second level, Los Angeles really didn’t have an answer.</p><p>While Pickett is a bit more mobile than some may think, he’s no Herbert, and his offensive line is pretty under-the-radar pretty much across the board. If the Eagles can hold up in coverage <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-lane-johnson-jalen-carter-ruled-out-week-15-vs-raiders">down their certified pocket collapsed Jalen Carter</a>, they have a chance to really punish Pickett if his initial reads are locked up.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Eagles-2.jpg"><figcaption>Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>The Eagles can produce a clean game against the Raiders’ defense</b></h2><p>In Week 14, the Eagles decided to abandon their usual conservative offensive way in order to really take some really big swings against another Super Bowl-caliber team.</p><p>The results? Mixed to poor, with Jalen Hurts throwing four interceptions while coughing up another fumble, but even if his passer rating was worse than spiking the ball 40 times, the Eagles did at least attempt a few good things, including more throws across the middle of the field to AJ Brown – even if he volleyball sets it up for a pick – a fake Tush Push, and a steady diet of passes to Dallas Goedert, who was a true mis-match against the Chargers.</p><p>To their credit, the Eagles needed to mix things up because the Chargers’ defense is one of the better units in the NFL, but in Week 15, the tides have changed pretty substantially, with the Raiders allowing the 24th most points of anyone in the NFL while surrendering the 17th-most passing yards and the 16th-most rushing yards.</p><p>To their credit, the Raiders actually have some solid performers on the defensive side of the ball, with Eric Stokes, Jeremy Chinn, Charles Snowden, and Maxx Crosby among the better players at their individual positions, but the Raiders aren’t great in the middle of their defense and have question marks at CB2 and safety as well.</p><p>If the Eagles play like they did against the Chargers, they might again struggle with turnovers and see their offense stop and start, but if they use this game to install a new base offense that links their old run-heavy ways with a few more creative offensive wrinkles to keep things interesting, it could spell success for not just the final three games of the season but also the Wildcard round of the 2025 NFL Playoffs.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Head-coach-Nick-Sirianni-and-Jalen-Hurts-were-not-at-their-best-in-the-Black-Friday-loss-to-the-Bears.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>The Eagles break their losing streak as the Raiders look to the Draft</b></h2><p>In the NFL, no game is a guaranteed win.</p><p>0-17 teams are almost as rare as an undefeated team, and with just two wins on the season so far, the Raiders aren’t even a lock to have the top pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, with the New York Giants currently positioned to secure the top honor due to their strength of schedule if the two teams <a href="https://www.tankathon.com/nfl" rel="noopener">both lose out</a>.</p><p>At 8-5, the Eagles are rightfully heavy favorites to win in Week 15, but they were heavy favorites in their first matchup against the Giants, too, and that didn’t go very well at all. Still, considering everything going on around the team, a bounce-back win feels far more likely than loss No. 6, giving fans just a little more faith before the Bills have a chance to dash in in Week 17.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Super Bowl 59 champions have looked downright dysfunctional during their three-game losing streak, and making matters worse, they remain painfully shorthanded. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-the-crazy-stat-that-should-cement-lane-johnson-hall-fame">Beloved right tackle Lane Johnson</a> and star defensive tackle Jalen Carter have <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1999589397243572691" rel="noopener">both been ruled out</a> for Week 15, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.</p><p>Johnson has been sidelined since suffering a foot injury in the Eagles’ Nov. 16 win versus the Detroit Lions. It is no coincidence that Philly’s already inconsistent passing offense has been less efficient over the last couple of games.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-jalen-hurts-reveals-only-thing-must-do-5-turnover-chargers">Jalen Hurts threw four interceptions</a> in Monday’s debacle against the Los Angeles Chargers. Johnson is a steadying presence in the trenches who comprises a huge piece of this squad’s identity. The two-time First-Team All-Pro has <a href="https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/lane-johnson/7786#seasonStatsWidget" rel="noopener">not allowed a sack</a> in 449 offensive snaps played this season, per Pro Football Focus. The Raiders’ defense leaves much to be desired, but game-wrecking edge rusher Maxx Crosby is surely licking his chops following this latest news.</p><p>The Eagles’ front-seven also takes a big hit amid Carter’s continued absence. He missed the Chargers game after undergoing surgery on both of his shoulders and will stay out of commission for the time being. The 2024-25 Second-Team All-Pro has two sacks, 20 solo tackles, four tackles for loss, 36 total pressures and 16 stops in 10 games. Despite Las Vegas’ issues, tight end Brock Bowers, running back Ashton Jeanty and wide receiver Tre Tucker all pose threats on offense.</p><p>But this team has not won a game since beating the Tennessee Titans on Oct. 12. Even an undermanned version of the Eagles should be able to exploit the Raiders’ deficiencies. Though, as fans know all too well, trying to make sense of this franchise is a migraine-inducing exercise.</p><p>Philly can inch closer to its second straight NFC East title with a win, but it will have to do so without two undeniable difference-makers. The action kicks off on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Considering people are wearing Tanner McKee jerseys in Philadelphia right now,” Simmons said.</p><p>“That’s fair,” Wright replied. “But at least we’re having the conversation right? At least Jalen is available.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-bench-jalen-hurts-nick-sirianni-blasts-ridiculous-idea">Hurts is not very popular with Eagles fans</a> right now, which explains why Wright has him as part of this trade package.</p><p>But Simmons set him straight, explaining that a trade like this is practically impossible in the NFL.</p><p>“You can’t even make football trades like that, which is by the way, what the NBA has turned into with theses stupid aprons have ruined all the fun trades we can make,” Simmons concluded. “If Joe Burrow went to the Eagles, God help us.”</p><h2><b>Bengals QB Joe Burrow’s recent press conference fueling trade speculation</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Joe-Burrow_f00c6d.jpg"><figcaption>Sam Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/cincinnati-bengals/bengals-news-joe-burrow-press-conference-fans-worried-pulling-andrew-luck">Burrow’s recent cryptic comments</a> appear to be fueling this trade speculation.</p><p>Burrow seemed dejected when he spoke with reporters on Wednesday.

And if it’s not fun, then what am I doing it for?” Burrow said, per The 33rd Team’s Ari Meirov.</p><p>Burrow explained that the physical and emotional toll of playing football can add up over time.</p><p>“I’m not sure there was a singular [turning point]. It’s just a reflection on a lot of things that I’ve done and been through in my career. I think I’ve been through more than most. And it’s certainly not easy on the brain or the body,” Burrow said. “There’s just a lot of things going on right now.”</p><p>The Bengals will not trade Burrow, but fans are right to be worried after the star quarterback’s recent comments.</p><p>Perhaps a win against the Ravens in Week 15 could raise Burrow’s spirits.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Their offense has gone through all sorts of chaos and drama in 2025. But at least having their right tackle back gives Philadelphia their anchor. Johnson entered the year with six Pro Bowl and two All-Pro nominations under his belt. Before suffering his injury, he <a href="https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/lane-johnson/7786" rel="noopener">ranked 18th among 82 tackles</a> with a 77.4 grade from Pro Football Focus.

Lane Johnson’s Week 15 injury status is dire for Eagles

That’s something that’s been proven. We’ve won a lot of football games.”</p><p>Sirianni emphasized that football is a team game and that Hurts cannot be singled out for the team’s successes or failures.</p><p>“This is the most ultimate team game,” Sirianni added. “You win together as a team, you lose together as a team. It’s never just one thing.”</p><p>Hurts had five total turnovers during Monday’s loss, which is tied for the most by any Eagles player since play-by-play was first tracked in 1978, per McManus.

The reality is the 2024 season was an aberration because Saquon Barkley and a dominant O-line were breaking off big gains weekly, opening up play-action and downfield shots for the passing game. This isn’t the same offensive line, which means the Barkley gains aren’t as frequent. That places the spotlight on Hurts, for better or worse. We saw the good in glimpses against the Chargers — an 11-play drive late in the first half was run-heavy and set up a pair of 11-yard completions for Hurts. But the game featured Hurts in straight dropback situations often, and that can lead to problems.”</p><p>Back in 2020, the Eagles drafted Hurts with the 53rd overall pick despite already having Wentz, a former second-overall pick, coming off a year in which he threw for a career-high 4,039 yards, 27 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. Late in the 2020 season, a disastrous campaign for Philadelphia, Hurts replaced Wentz and remained the starter for the season. In the following offseason, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-jalen-hurts-breaks-silence-on-carson-wentz-trade-has-message-for-former-teammate">Eagles traded Wentz to the Indianapolis Colts.</a></p><p>The trade proved to be an ingenious one, as Wentz has not been able to recapture the success he had in his five seasons with the Eagles. Meanwhile, Hurts became an MVP runner-up in his second year as the starter, and he has earned two Pro Bowl appearances and made it to two Super Bowls, including earlier this year when he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-jalen-hurts-mvp-honors-dominant-super-bowl-59-victory">led the Eagles to a dominant win</a> and was rewarded with the game MVP award.</p><p>This year, though, has been a struggle; after a 4-0 start to the season, Philadelphia dropped back-to-back games, including a decisive loss to the New York Giants, before four straight. Since then, though, the Eagles have lost their last three, and in those losses, Hurts has completed less than 60% of his passes, thrown 3 touchdowns and 5 interceptions, and lost two fumbles while the team has averaged 18 points per game. On <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-most-to-blame-for-wild-loss-to-chargers-on-monday-night-football">Monday against the Chargers</a>, Hurts, who has two years left on his five-year, $225 million deal, went 21-for-40 with 240 yards, no touchdowns, and four picks.</p><p>Hurts and the Eagles would appear to have a classic get-back game this weekend when they host the 2-11 Las Vegas Raiders in Philadelphia.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Has it been Hurts’ play? Their inability to run the ball consistently due to poor offensive line play and Saquon Barkley’s lateral running style? Or is it Kevin Patullo’s passing game, with AJ Brown notably getting big production in three-straight losses?</p><p>Well, in an interview on WIP, Donovan McNabb broke the situation down clearly, declaring that while everything is a problem, overly relying on one player in particular has been <a href="https://Twitter.com/SportsRadioWIP/status/1998535054851555332?s=20" rel="noopener">limiting their offense’s overall effectiveness</a>.</p><p>“Everything, you know. It, it goes back to the conversation I had when we first started, and I don’t mean to bring this down on AJ or point it out or anything of that nature. But as the conversation kind of led after he made his tweets and encrypted, you know, conversations or whatever it may be, the whole offense shifted into a whole new, different realm,” McNabb explained.</p><p>“Now we were taking shots downfield. DeVonta was catching deeper balls. We were going across the middle. We were doing a lot of different things, but ever since that, that conversation came up of why he’s not getting the ball, the offense now shifted more toward AJ, and really, DeVonta is, like, missing.</p><p>“Like, and I feel bad for him because I’ve always stressed and I’ve talked about it for weeks that he’s our number one receiver. AJ Brown is our guy to get us over the hump. And Dallas Goedert is the most important piece to this passing game because he becomes so much of a threat when most linebackers who can’t cover, who are in there to stop the run, we don’t even throw to him, or at least target them in the middle of the football field. We’re throwing them in the flat route, and every route that we’re running is all outside toward the numbers and not attacking the inside of the football field.”</p><p>In Week 14 specifically, McNabb’s comments were right on the money. While the Eagles did their best to feed Brown, he largely let the team down, dropping multiple key passes, including a would-be touchdown in the endzone that Hurts launched on a rope, and a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-aj-browns-blunder-leads-jalen-hurts-3rd-int-chargers">key crossing route that somehow turned into a brutally timed interception</a>.</p><p>Goedert, by contrast, was borderline unguardable on the final drive of overtime, and might very well have scored a walk-off touchdown if Hurts’ final pass went his way. With just four games left to play, the Eagles need to know if their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-aj-brown-reveals-3-mnf-plays-he-wished-he-could-have-back-vs-chargers">mid-season adjustments were right</a>, or if they should reformulate their offense around the run with the occasional deep ball to air out the field like in seasons prior.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Donovan McNabb on what went wrong with the Eagles offense</p><p>"Everything.

The Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles battled through turnovers, big plays, and late-game drama befitting two teams fighting for postseason position. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/los-angeles-chargers/chargers-news-justin-herbert-puts-himself-in-patrick-mahomes-company">The Chargers’ overtime triumph</a> shook up the AFC and NFC playoff pictures in meaningful ways. With Jalen Hurts struggling, Justin Herbert grinding through adversity, and Cameron Dicker delivering a flawless kicking performance, both teams leave Week 14 with very different postseason realities. Now, the question becomes: Which contender strengthened its footing, and whose road just got more treacherous?</p><h2><b>Chaotic Week 14 showdown</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Justin-Herbert3.jpg"><figcaption>Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Chargers edged the Eagles 22-19 in overtime at SoFi Stadium. Los Angeles won a defensive struggle highlighted by eight total turnovers and defined by clutch special teams play. The Chargers opened the scoring with a 4-yard touchdown from Justin Herbert to Omarion Hampton. However, the middle quarters belonged to the kickers. Cameron Dicker and Jake Elliott traded field goals in a gritty chess match that left the score tied 13-9 entering the fourth.</p><p>Philadelphia seemed poised to seize control when Saquon Barkley ripped off a stunning 52-yard touchdown. That gave the Eagles a 16-13 lead. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/chargers-news-la-beat-eagles-despite-justin-herbert-being-in-absolute-hell-all-game">Herbert, though, battled through two fumbles of his own</a> and leaned on a productive ground attack that tallied 169 rushing yards. Meanwhile, Dicker came through repeatedly. His 46-yard field goal forced overtime before he nailed the game-winning 54-yarder after Philly failed to score on its opening OT possession. Herbert’s 66 rushing yards proved crucial. The Chargers escaped with a win that could loom large in the AFC’s crowded Wild Card race.</p><p>Meanwhile, Hurts endured one of the worst passing performances of his career. He completed just 21 of 40 throws for 240 yards and four interceptions. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-jalen-hurts-reveals-only-thing-must-do-5-turnover-chargers">That turnover avalanche</a> overshadowed Barkley’s 122-yard day and Philadelphia’s otherwise solid defensive effort. The loss dropped the Eagles to 8-5 and tightened the NFC East race far more than they expected heading into December.</p><p>Here we’ll try to look at and discuss the Philadelphia Eagles’ playoff chances and their updated odds after their Week 14 win over the Chargers.</p><h2><b>Eagles still strong, but cracks are showing</b></h2><p>The Eagles still control the NFC East. They have a two-game lead over the Dallas Cowboys (6-6-1), and their playoff odds remain strong. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/nfl-playoff-picture/2025/" rel="noopener">Models project a final record of 11-6</a>, good for the NFC’s No. 3 seed. Their postseason probability sits at 92 percent, with a similar percentage to clinch the division. That said, the loss to the Chargers exposed troubling trends for a team that expects to contend for the conference crown.</p><p>The most alarming development is Hurts’ recent slump. His four-interception outing dragged the offense into its second straight loss. It widened the gap between the Eagles and the conference’s top seeds: the 10-3 Rams and 9-3-1 Packers. Hurts’ aggressiveness remains an asset. Still, his turnover rate is rapidly becoming a liability that has shaved the margin for error off this roster.</p><p>The schedule, however, remains favorable. The Eagles face the Raiders in Week 15, then the Commanders twice with a trip to Buffalo sandwiched in between. Three of those opponents are out of playoff contention. That gives Philadelphia ample opportunity to stabilize its offense and recalibrate its defensive rotations. Those have shown fatigue down the stretch. They boast less than a 1 percent chance of securing a first-round bye. At 5 percent, though, their odds of repeating as Super Bowl champions remain in reach. Of course that’s provided Hurts and the offense course-correct immediately.</p><h2><b>Massive OT win keeps Chargers alive</b></h2><p>The Chargers’ overtime win cemented them as one of the AFC’s most resilient playoff contenders. With the victory, Los Angeles improved to the No. 5 seed. They also avoided falling into the dangerous tiebreaker cluster below the cut line. Their projected final record stands at 11-6, with a robust 78 percent chance of making the playoffs. They also have a 13 percent shot at overtaking Denver for the AFC West title.</p><p>Realistically, a division crown remains unlikely. The Broncos sit at 11-2 and are steamrolling toward a top-two seed. On the flip side, the Chargers have achieved what matters most: they now control their own destiny in the Wild Card race. Their 6-3 conference record gives them an important edge over similarly desperate teams like the Bills, Colts, Texans, Ravens and even the Chiefs.</p><p>The climb isn’t over, though. The Chargers’ remaining schedule is brutal: trips to Kansas City and Dallas, a home clash with the Texans, and a road finale at Denver. Simply going 2-2 in that stretch may be enough to secure a postseason berth. However, anything less will reopen the door for Wild Card challengers.</p><p>Herbert will need cleaner performances. The two fumbles in Week 14 nearly doomed the Chargers. The offensive line must also protect him better against elite pass rushes ahead. The run defense remains fragile, too, and that weakness could be exposed against the Chiefs, Cowboys, and Broncos.</p><h2><b>Thriller reshaped two playoff races</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Eagles-quarterback-Jalen-Hurts-after-the-game.jpg"><figcaption>© Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Week 14’s overtime battle delivered chaos and clarity. The Eagles remain in strong postseason shape but revealed troubling vulnerabilities that could cap their playoff ceiling. The Chargers overcame their own turnover woes to strengthen their path to January football. That said, they face a gauntlet that will test every inch of their resilience.</p><p>Both teams remain in the hunt but are also flawed. They now enter Week 15 knowing their postseason fate may hinge on how they respond to Sunday’s bonkers, exhausting, unforgettable finish.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
