How to watch Eagles-Chargers for free on Monday Night Football

Two teams with identical 8-4 records face off in tonight’s Monday Night Football matchup as the Philadelphia Eagles head west for a meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Eagles are coming into Week 14 on a two-game losing streak. Making the playoffs is virtually a lock for the defending Super Bowl champions, but the path to the NFC’s No. 1 seed is considerably harder. If the season ended today, the Eagles would finish atop the NFC East, but third in the conference behind the Rams and Packers.

Despite being listed as questionable on the injury list, it’s likely Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will start tonight’s game. On Monday, Herbert had surgery to fix a broken bone in his non-throwing hand.

Here’s how to tune in to Monday Night Football without cable.
