We had 4 turnovers.
They still barely won.
Can they beat us? Sure…it’s possible. But this isn’t the same ****ing team from early in the season.

Had the Chargers played poorly, we played well, and we lost, I’d be nervous.
The Chargers actually played really well in the first matchup. Herbert was great. Their receivers caught ****ing everything. Ekeler had a good Ekeler game. They took advantage of every dropped pass from our receivers. They converted a 4th and 9 late (on a DPI).
We moved the ball well on their defense, but that’s just what their defense is. They are ****ing terrible against the run. Our OL and RBs are healthy, so we’ll have success on the ground.
Our success from last game is VERY repeatable. Our failures from last game are VERY correctable:
-limit turnovers
-get pressure on Herbert (very likely with Ingram and Clark against their OTs)
-contain Ekeler (he’s gimpy and their OL has issues)
