This might be the Eagles' biggest game of the season as they try to end a two-game losing streak against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 14.
The Eagles are currently 8-4 and still holding onto first place in the NFC East. They are currently the third seed in the NFC and need to win to keep pace with the Los Angeles Rams and Green Bay Packers.
Four players need to step up for the Eagles to pull off a stellar road win against an excellent Chargers team.
Saquon Barkley, RB
At some point, Barkley is going to break it loose. He's only got one 100-yard game this season and is averaging less than four yards per carry. The Chargers are only averaging 106.9 rushing yards per game, so the running lanes might not be there against him, but Barkley has to find a way to make it happen to better support Jalen Hurts.
Jalyx Hunt, EDGE
Hunt has been on a tear over the last month-plus as he has stayed consistent despite the rest of the pass rush being all over the place. He has created 20 pressures and racked up 15 quarterback hits and two sacks while also grabbing two interceptions, a pick-six, and a forced fumble. With Justin Herbert banged up, Hunt has a chance to feast with some pressure on him in the game.
Adoree' Jackson, CB
After the failed attempts of getting replacements with Jaire Alexander, who retired, and Darius Slay, who was claimed by the Buffalo Bills on the waiver wire before them, more pressure than ever is on Jackson to earn his job. Jackson only has six pass deflections and is ranked 106th out of 109 cornerbacks in the NFL with an overall grade of 47.8, according to PFF. LA has some great talent at receiver, and the Eagles really could use another shutdown corner to help out.

Moro Ojomo, DT
Jalen Carter is not playing in the game, so the responsibility of the defensive line falls on Moro Ojomo and Jordan Davis. While Davis gets more attention, Ojomo is the most underrated defensive tackle in the NFL, as he is PFF's 12th-ranked interior defensive lineman in the NFL with a 75.3 grade supported by his 36 pressures, 30 hurries, and four sacks on the year. While Carter is a game-changer, Ojomo can do just as well in the lineup as Carter can.
