BALTIMORE -- The Los Angeles Chargers' primary goal on defense on Sunday was to bottle up explosive Baltimore Ravens rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson.
They did it very well for three-plus quarters, sacking him seven times as Los Angeles built a 23-3 lead then hung on to win 23-17. According to ESPN Stats & Information research, the seven sacks are the most in a playoff game for the Chargers since the 1992 AFC Wild Card game against the Chiefs, when they recorded seven sacks (franchise postseason record). All seven sacks occurred with the Chargers rushing four or fewer pass-rushers, their most in any game since Week 16 of 2012 against the Jets.
