The Los Angeles Chargers could have made enough noise to send a ripple effect across the entire league on Sunday but instead, they ran into what is becoming a formidable buzzsaw in the Los Angeles Rams.
The Rams scored two first-quarter touchdowns, forcing the Chargers to play catch up all day. However, the key moment in the game came midway through the second quarter.
The Rams were in the midst of a 10-play drive that had covered over 60 yards. Facing a 3rd-and-5 from the Chargers’ 10-yard line, Jared Goff dropped back to throw but his pass was picked off by Derwin James.
