For the fourth-straight first quarter played by the Chargers, they found themselves down by 10+ points. That allowed them to join a small group of teams — three, to be exact — that have ever been outscored by 10 or more points in four-consecutive opening periods in NFL history.
There’s just something about this franchise and bad history, you know?
Despite this unfortunate streak, it didn’t stop the Bolts from ultimately fighting back to take a 14-10 lead heading into halftime. They managed to hold that lead until late in the third quarter when the Falcons took advantage of an unlucky interception off the hands of Joshua Palmer.
