Since the outcome is in no way pleasing to Chargers fans, the following breakdown of “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” will be very “straight to the point.”

Good: Lawrence intercepted
To be honest, nothing good came out of this game other than the Chargers taking out Trevor Lawrence. Although the turnover led to a 46-yard field goal by Cameron Dicker, that might be the only silver lining in an ocean of negativity.

Bad: Chargers offense was atrocious
While a poor offensive outing is never out of the question for any NFL team in any given week, Los Angeles’ offensive execution was grotesque against the Jaguars.

In total, the Chargers recorded 135 yards of offense, with 93 yards passing and 42 yards rushing.
To make that statistic even worse, the team was 3-for-12 on third-down conversions and recorded just eight first downs.

Ugly: Jacksonville was almost unstoppable
Aside from a couple of turnovers early and late in the game, and Lawrence’s lone interception, Jacksonville essentially got what it wanted on offense against a Chargers defense that resembled the unit led by Brandon Staley.
At the end of the day, Jacksonville recorded 345 yards (153 passing, 192 rushing) for 5 touchdowns and 30 first downs, while converting 5 of 10 third down opportunities.

Since the Chargers couldn’t do anything offensively, the putrid defensive performance made Sunday’s game practically unbearable.

Also adding insult to injury, Denver’s (9-2) last-second 35-yard field goal to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs (5-5) now extends the Broncos’ lead over the Chargers for AFC West division lead to two games (Los Angeles holds the tie break by virtue of a 23-20 win on Sept. 21).
The Changers will look to get back on track following their Week 12 bye when they host the lowly Las Vegas Raiders (2-7) at SoFi Stadium on Nov. 30. That game will begin at 1:30 pm PST on CBS.
