Chargers vs. Cardinals takeaways: Chargers' receivers, defense vow to be better

The Chargers' close road loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night highlighted the team's need to better support quarterback Justin Herbert.

With kicker Cameron Dicker as their only source of points, the Chargers lost 17-15 to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday in State Farm Stadium. Here’s what we learned from the game: The receivers were the Chargers’ biggest concern entering the season. They’re still the biggest concern approaching the mid-way point. Down top pass-catching options Monday in Quentin Johnston , Derius Davis , D.J. Chark Jr. , the Chargers turned tight end Will Dissly into a leading receiver.

Again, the Chargers gave up a second-half lead, repeating fourth-quarter struggles from losses to the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Kansas City Chiefs. While players said they were more attuned to the importance of containing a mobile quarterback after getting burned by Denver’s Bo Nix last week, Cardinals star Kyler Murray ripped off a 44-yard touchdown run on the second play of the fourth quarter that gave Arizona a brief lead.
