Chargers miss an opportunity to catch the Jets in the wild card race.
LAS VEGAS — Quarterback Derek Carr threw touchdown passes of 31 and 45 yards to Davante Adams in the opening minutes of the third quarter and the Las Vegas Raiders went on to send the Chargers to their third loss in four games, a 27-20 defeat Sunday that damaged their playoff hopes.
Carr’s first scoring pass to Adams came after running back Austin Ekeler fumbled and the Raiders recovered at the Chargers’ 38-yard line. Carr’s second touchdown pass, on a flea flicker, came after Cameron Dicker pushed a 52-yard field try wide right, his first miss of the season. In a span of only 4:07, the Chargers watched a 13-10 halftime lead turn into a 24-13 deficit. The Chargers needed a victory to catch the New York Jets in the AFC wild-card playoff race. The Raiders are chasing the Chargers among others on the outside looking in.
Justin Herbert’s 35-yard touchdown pass to Keenan Allen on a fourth-and-12 play brought the Chargers to within 27-20 with 8:34 remaining in the game. The Chargers got the ball back after a Raiders punt with 5:12 remaining and 91 yards to negotiate.
