Justin Herbert and Chargers thrashed by Jaguars in worst loss of the Jim Harbaugh era

"The Chargers didn't have to worry about another historic comeback. This time, the Jacksonville Jaguars left no room for doubt. Unable to handle Jacksonville's ground game or its pass rush, the Chargers offered little resistance in a 35-6 defeat under blue skies at EverBank Stadium. It was the worst loss of Jim Harbaugh's 1½ seasons with the Chargers, and the club's worst loss since a 63-21 thrashing by the Raiders on Dec. 14, 2023."

"The Chargers proved as mild as the balmy weather, mustering a pair of field goals and making the Jaguars look like playoff contenders, even though Jacksonville had lost three of its previous four games. The Jaguars ran for 192 yards - the Chargers got 42 in that department - and won the time-of-possession battle by almost 16 minutes. Justin Herbert took a beating, spending some time in the blue medical tent, as the Chargers' offensive line woes came home to roost in a big way."

"Three starters missing from the Jacksonville secondary? That didn't seem to bother the Jaguars a bit, as Herbert was limited to 81 yards passing with an interception, and was sacked three times. He oversaw a Chargers offense that gained a total of five yards in its first three second-half possessions. Herbert mercifully was replaced in the fourth quarter by backup Trey Lance, with the game long since decided. In fact, the Chargers pulled most of their starters with 11 minutes remaining."

The Jacksonville Jaguars dominated both sides of the ball in a 35-6 victory over the Chargers at EverBank Stadium. Jacksonville ran for 192 yards while the Chargers managed only 42, and the Jaguars controlled possession by nearly 16 minutes. Justin Herbert was limited to 81 passing yards, threw an interception, was sacked three times and spent time in the medical tent. The Chargers' offensive line, including struggling new left tackle Trevor Penning, repeatedly failed to protect Herbert and could not establish the run. Backup Trey Lance replaced Herbert in the fourth quarter as the Chargers pulled most starters with the game decided.
