INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- It was an embarrassing loss for the Los Angeles Chargers, made only spectacular by one incredibly befuddling decision.
With 4:54 remaining in a 38-10 beatdown by the Jacksonville Jaguars, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert -- ten days removed from suffering a fracture to his rib cartilage -- trotted onto the field at SoFi Stadium to play a final series.
"He wanted to be out there with his teammates," Chargers coach Brandon Staley said. "He felt good and he wanted to finish the game."
Reporters asked Staley 20 questions during a seven-minute and 30-second postgame press conference.
