Your Los Angeles Chargers fall in yet another close game Sunday, although the scoreboard may tell you otherwise. The 4-7 Bolts had a chance to take the lead or tie the game with less than two minutes left against the 9-3 Baltimore Ravens, before ultimately losing 20-10. The Bolts couldn’t seem to get over the hump as they failed to take advantage of the opportunities the Baltimore Ravens were gifting them time and time again. Instead, the Bolts lose their third straight as they watch their playoff hopes dim little by little. The Bolts defense played their best game in a long time, but it wasn’t enough. The record books will show a loss for the Chargers and a win for the Ravens; that’s all that matters at the end of the day. After the game, Ravens pass catcher and former All-Pro wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. believes this win showed they are the contenders they believe they are. “The biggest thing is championship teams are built on great defense and defensive teams making those stops and covering for the offense,” Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. said. “That’s what I feel like happened [Sunday].” (Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN) We got a front-row look at the Ravens’ defense, and it certainly is legit. That side of the ball made the Bolts and Justin Herbert look pedestrian, holding him to 29-for-44, 217 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The Chargers offense could only collect one touchdown in 60 minutes, which came in the fourth quarter. This Ravens’ defense is legit, along with their offense, even though the Bolts’ defense did their thing to contain the Baltimore offense. At the end of the day, the Chargers lost to a better team, and it sucks to say after the hope many had about this team at the start of the season.
