Buccaneers slice up Chargers defense in second half as L.A. falls in playoff seedings

LA Times  

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is hit by Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Yaya Diaby after throwing a pass in the second half of the Chargers’ 40-17 loss Sunday at SoFi Stadium. The Chargers lost ground in a tight AFC wild-card race Sunday, unraveling in the second half of a loss coach Jim Harbaugh called “thorough.” The offense mustered just 32 yards rushing. “Today wasn’t ours.” After losing consecutive games for just the second time this season, the Chargers have to regroup quickly for a critical AFC West matchup against the Denver Broncos on Thursday at SoFi Stadium. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers scored on six consecutive drives, starting with a field goal on their last possession of the first half and overwhelming a defense that “didn’t have enough juice,” cornerback Tarheeb Still said.
