A simple QB sneak and you pick up the first, and maybe you bleed the clock out or run enough off that the Jags only end up with a FG. Instead they march down, get that first TD and at that point it felt close to a given the Chargers were going to lose. Says it all about the Chargers that at 27-7 up you could feel the loss coming.

Yeah that started a chain of things. Reminded me of last year's AFC Championship where the Chiefs throw short of the goal line and get nothing. Instead of a 28-10 lead and getting the ball back to start the next half the Bengals have a shot. Last night was the same thing poorly executed play that loses a pile of yards and gives Jacksonville a short field. They give up a TD. Do nothing on their opening possession, and it's a 13 point game.
Herbert's throws at the goal line were pretty bad. He won't throw interceptions, but you need Mike Williams to have a shot to pull in these balls that are 10 feet high as they sail thru the end zone at full speed. No touch on any of those at all.
