Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh was elated after his team earned a 22-19 overtime victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday at SoFi Stadium.
Harbaugh, 61, compared the overtime victory to some of the highlights of his personal life when asked if he had ever been in a game like that.
“It’s definitely — maybe the best feeling. Just a wonderful feeling of victory and (the) thrill of victory. It’s definitely in the discussion, I would put it in the discussion of having seven kids, my marriage, you know? In the conversation,” Harbaugh told reporters during his postgame press conference.

“Just joyful, joyful and the biblical definition of that is overflowing with joy.”
Harbaugh likened the game to a heavyweight fight. The game certainly wasn’t pretty, as there were a total of eight turnovers.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was responsible for five of those turnovers, including two, improbably, on the same play. Hurts’ five turnovers were a career high. Hurts completed 21 of 40 passes for 240 yards and four interceptions while rushing for eight yards in the loss.
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, who underwent surgery on his left hand just seven days before the game, also threw an interception and was sacked in the first half.

Herbert struggled to find traction in the passing game but was effective as a runner. The 27-year-old completed 12 of 26 passes for 139 yards with a touchdown and an interception, while throwing the ball 10 times for 66 yards.
The Chargers’ win keeps them in playoff position as they improved to 9-4. They are second in the AFC West behind the Denver Broncos (11-2), but hold the fifth seed in the AFC, which is definitely a reason Harbaugh is so happy with this win.
