There aren't very many actions that earn negative points in fantasy football scoring. 

For quarterbacks, there are pretty much two: interceptions and lost fumbles.

In most scoring systems, each of those plays is worth minus-2 points. So you'd figure that the worst a QB could get on a given play would be negative-2, right? The other team has the ball at that point, so that's that, right?

Jalen Hurts proved that thinking wrong.

The Philadelphia Eagles QB put up a minus-4 on one play on Monday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers.

How did he do that?

Well, it started with an interception. That's pretty basic.

But then as the Chargers returned the pick, they had the ball knocked loose. OK, drama.

Hurts scooped up the L.A. Fumble and had the ball himself and took off running.

Except then Hurts had the ball knocked out, and the Chargers recovered, a lost fumble.

Hurts had an interception thrown and a fumble lost all on one play.

There's never been a worse play, at least in standard scoring, in fantasy football history.

And to come on Monday night? Fantasy managers headed into MNF hoping for a big game from Hurts to lead them to a win.

Instead, not only did he have a quiet night in general, he had this play that lost four points all at once. Absolutely brutal.
