In a game that was decided by just three points, the seven freebies Hurts coughed up ended up meaning a lot by games end. This turnover was completely unforced and turned what could’ve been a three-score halftime lead into a two-score advantage. However, as Hurts began his takeoff, he lost control of the ball, allowing Chiefs’ linebacker Nick Bolton to scoop the ball up and walk in for an easy six points.

The only exception was one terrible unforced error by Jalen Hurts. The Chiefs would respond the following drive, but other than that, Philadelphia completely dominated the first half, taking a 24-14 lead into the locker room.
