Can we please go back to that time a few weeks ago when the Chargers were posting one boring, uneventful win after another over inferior opponents? I’m just not sure how much more of this my heart can take.
After racing out to what felt like a commanding 14-3 lead in the first 15:09 of the game, the home team appeared to do everything in its power to give the game away in its preceding 44:51. The Chargers forgot to run the ball, struggled to give Philip Rivers a clean pocket from which to throw, missed tackles, wasted a turnover on downs that led to a short field, and repeatedly gifted the Bengals with short fields thanks courtesy of the aged their geriatric punter, Donnie Jones.
