It's unbelievable – yet somehow on brand – that the chargers allowed this one to slip through their fingers, writes latimesfarmer. They were on their way to their biggest playoff blowout victory since a 51-10 thrashing of the Boston Patriots in 1963.
The Chargers held a 27-point lead but played a horrible second half and lost their wild-card playoff game on a last-second field goal, 31-30, to the Jaguars“I’m hurting for everybody in that locker room,” Staley said. “It’s a special group of guys. This is the toughest way to lose, in the playoffs.”
“I knew it was going to take a lot to turn it around. But I told the guys in the huddle, ‘There’s no 27-point plays. It’s going to be one play at a time.’ That’s what it took. One play at a time, all the way down the field. Just again and again and again.Chargers cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. celebrates one of his three interceptions in the first half with safety Derwin James Jr.
Those are merely footnotes when it comes to the Jaw-dropper in Jacksonville. The bottom line is, the Jaguars are moving on — probably to face Kansas City — and the Chargers are left to sift through the rubble of another collapse, the third biggest in NFL postseason history.
