"Different team. Different time. But it's back to the scene of the crime for the Chargers, who three years ago succumbed to a 27-point comeback in a playoff loss at Jacksonville. This season's Jaguars got off to a 4-1 start but have lost three of their last four to slip back into the pack. They don't have star rookie Travis Hunter, who underwent surgery this week and will miss the remainder of the season."
"The team plays hard for first-year coach Liam Coen, who said he wants quarterback Trevor Lawrence to "cut it loose and let it rip" when he sees opportunities down the field. After opening the season 3-0, the Chargers lost three of four, but are now riding another three-game winning streak. Justin Herbert has been outstanding at times, despite being the most-hit quarterback in the NFL. The Chargers defense is coming off a gem of a performance in a win over Pittsburgh."
Chargers visit Jacksonville where they lost a dramatic playoff game three years ago. The Jaguars began 4-1 but have slipped after losing three of four and will be without rookie corner Travis Hunter after season-ending surgery. First-year coach Liam Coen encourages Trevor Lawrence to take downfield shots. Chargers recovered from a midseason slump and now have a three-game win streak behind sometimes outstanding Justin Herbert, despite being the most-hit quarterback in the NFL. Chargers' defense is coming off a strong performance. Chargers must protect Herbert and attack a weakened Jaguars pass rush; Jaguars must run, win the line and pressure Herbert.
