INGLEWOOD, Calif.>> Unable to wrap your hands around the season’s hottest gift?

The Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles feel your pain.

Three turnovers on a single play Monday night unfolded like a white elephant gift exchange.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts finished the night with four interceptions and a fumble, including a pick that ended the Chargers’ 22-19 victory in overtime.

A wild scenario in the second quarter typified Philadelphia’s frustration.

The Eagles had the ball before the Chargers plucked it away. The Eagles got it right back, before the Chargers yanked it away again.

From the time Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts let go of his pass with 8:28 remaining in the first half, until the ball stopped rolling, it was among the wildest 9 seconds of the season.

Hurts’ second-quarter pass to A.J. Brown was intercepted by Chargers defensive lineman Da’Shawn Hand at the Los Angeles 17-yard line. Hand fumbled at the 24-yard line when he was hit by the Eagles’ Will Shipley. Hurts had the ball return to his hands at the 33 but he fumbled it when he was hit by the Chargers’ Jamaree Caldwell.

Only the Chargers’ Troy Dye was able to secure the ball tightly when he jumped on it at the 43-yard line.

Hurts made history, becoming the only player ever to throw an interception, recover a fumble and lose a fumble on the same play.

INJURY SENT DK METCALF TO HOSPITAL>> A brief hospital visit won’t keep Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf from playing next week against Miami.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Metcalf was hit in the abdomen at some point during Pittsburgh’s 27-22 victory in Baltimore on Sunday and remained behind when the issue persisted after Metcalf was treated with over-the-counter remedies during the game.

“It got probably progressively worse after the game and so I’m appreciative of our medical experts,” Tomlin said.

RAIDERS CB kelly DONE>> Cornerback Kyu Blu Kelly, who leads the Raiders with three interceptions, was placed on season-ending injured reserve because of a tear in his patellar tendon.

MAN CHARGED IN BOYD SHOOTING>> A Bronx man has been charged with attempted murder in the shooting of New York Jets’ player Kris Boyd, police announced.

The New York Police Department said Frederick Green, 20, was charged late Monday night.
