Chargers offensive frustrations continue in 19-17 loss
Associated Press— The Los Angeles Chargers let Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs slip away with their ninth straight AFC West division championship on Sunday night. “In the first half we had penalties, got behind the sticks a few too many times to stop drives,” Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said. Pass game, run game, we weren’t moving the ball well.” Los Angeles rushed for only 34 yards in the first half while Herbert threw for 97 yards on 10-of-18 passing as the offense continued to sputter after disappointing performances the previous two weeks in which they managed just 333 combined passing yards and 139 rushing yards. The frustrating first half culminated 12 quarters during which the Chargers had 33 offensive drives resulting in seven field goals and three touchdowns, with just four trips to the red zone.
