Thuc Nhi Nguyen covers the Chargers for the Los Angeles Times.
A dropped pass. Then a missed tackle. Ultimately a 51-yard touchdown by the Baltimore Ravens that spelled the end of the Chargers’ four-game winning streak. Searching for an opportunity to establish themselves as legitimate playoff threats, the Chargers instead found mistakes and another anemic second-half offense in a 30-23 loss to the Ravens on Monday at SoFi Stadium. The Ravens rushed for 212 yards, a season-high for a Chargers opponent, led by 140 from Derrick Henry.
The Chargers stirred back to life just in time against the Bengals, but couldn’t find a similar lifeline Monday against Lamar Jackson. The two-time most valuable player threw for 177 yards and two touchdowns on 16-of-22 passing and ran for a score. Against the quarterback known for his elusive and shifty scrambling, it was Justin Herbert who made the first big play with his legs. The Chargers quarterback opened the scoring with a five-yard touchdown run on a clinical opening drive.
