Los Angeles Chargers defensive tackle Jamaree Caldwell (99) tackles Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts in the first half at SoFi Stadium on Dec. 8, 2025.

Editor's note: An earlier version of this story misstated the record for turnovers in a single game by an individual player.

With five turnovers on "Monday Night Football," Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts helped sink his team during a 19-16 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers – and he fell short of matching an NFL record.

Well short.

Sept. 24, 1950 was an excruciating day for Jim Hardy, then quarterback for the Chicago Cardinals. He threw eight interceptions and lost two fumbles in the Cardinals' 45-7 loss to the Eagles, according to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Stan Grosshandler, a late sports historian who wrote about Hardy's calamitous game. A box score published by Pro Football Reference also shows Hardy had eight interceptions.

But others quarterbacks suffered through brutal days, too.

Ty Detmer, former quarterback for the Detroit Lions, threw seven interceptions on Sept. 23, 2001 against the Cleveland Browns in the Lions' 24-14 loss. He is not alone.

Eight other quarterbacks threw seven interceptions in a game, according to Pro Football Reference.

The pain of six turnovers was experienced by the likes of Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner. And Hurts almost joined the six-turnover club in excruciating fashion.

Hurts even accomplished the rare feat of fumbling twice on one play. His final turnover, an interception, came off a tipped pass at the 1-yard line and ended the game in overtime.

The final tally: four interceptions, one lost fumble and turnover trauma for a lifetime.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones recently had a five-turnover game in a 27-20 loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9.
