The fifth-seeded Chargers (10-7) are eager for another opportunity against the fourth-seeded Jaguars (9-8) in a wild-card game Saturday night in Jacksonville.
Here’s what we learned, what we heard and what comes next after the playoff-bound Chargers lost wide receiver Mike Williams to a back injury and linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr. to a stinger during a meaningless 31-28 loss to the lowly Denver Broncos on Sunday:The fifth-seeded Chargers face the fourth-seeded Jaguars in a wild-card game on Saturday night in Jacksonville. The Chargers won four of their final five regular-season games to nail down their first playoff berth since the 2018 season.
“Struggled running the ball,” Chargers running back Austin Ekeler recalled. “I think I had 15 total yards that day. That was definitely a struggle that day. That’s what I remember most. You want to learn from it, right? I will go back and see what they’ve been doing and adjust. Defenses change. Injuries. Schemes.In fact, Ekeler rushed for only 5 yards on four carries and the Chargers totaled only 26 yards on 12 carries.
Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence torched the Chargers for 262 yards and three touchdowns on 28-for-39 passing. Lawrence threw two of his touchdowns in the second half, when the Jaguars turned a 16-7 halftime lead into a 28-point blowout victory over the stunned Chargers. Wide receiver Keenan Allen and tight end Donald Parham Jr. didn’t play in the Jacksonville game because of hamstring injuries. Center Corey Linsley also didn’t play because of an injury. So, the Chargers on Sept. 25 did not look like the Chargers who are set to face the Jaguars on Saturday night.
