Despite Khalil Mack's six sacks and a 3-1 turnover advantage, the Chargers had to grind out their win over the Raiders.
have resurrected their season. They are 2-2 entering the bye, clawing their way back from a concerning 0-2 start. They avoided disaster. They responded. And everything they want — division title, playoff berth, deep postseason run — is attainable.That is all true. And yet framing the start of the season this way feels … off. Like celebrating an errant tee shot that deflects off a tree trunk and ends up in the middle of the fairway.
“We’re not technically supposed to pass it off,” Samuel said. “But at the end of the day, we was trying to defend the goal line.” Herbert did not miss a snap. The Chargers lost 8 yards on a three-and-out on the next offensive series. Crosby came free up the middle on second down for his second sack of the game. The Chargers punted.On their last offensive series before the game-sealing drive, a Herbert tush-push sneak on fourth-and-1 failed. For the second straight week, Staley made an aggressive decision on a fourth down late in the game. For the second straight week, the Chargers were stopped.
There is no doubt about the tightness of this group. Staley has built a close team that plays hard. No better example of that than when, a 2019 Chargers first-round pick, in the second quarter. Tillery delivered a high blow to Herbert when the quarterback was already several steps out of bounds on the Chargers’ sideline.“You protect 10 at all costs,” Pipkins said.
