Watching the Chargers is just like watching the 2019-2022 Ravens when they fall behind in a game (which tbf only really happened in the playoffs). Opponents come in with an answer to Greg Roman's very simple game plan, and he just can't try something different to counter it. This was just like the first Titans game, and the Bills game. Almost the same score too
On top of that, they had 4th and 5th string players blocking for Herbert, and he was running for his life half the time. Normally when that happens, the play caller makes adjustments, adding sweep plays, bootlegs, even some trick plays. But nope, just keep dialing up long developing passing plays while Herbert gets murdered over and over. All too familiar.
Their defense looked good though. I kind of hope they bring back Minter.
Drake had a bad game too, but the game plan was simple. Dink and dunk, checkdowns, and scrambles. He hit a few layups, missed a few more, but the Chargers were no challenge. If they play like this against an actual good team, they'd get wiped. Lucky for them, there are no good teams left in the AFC! Patriots had the easiest schedule in league history, and somehow that is going to continue into the playoffs
Seriously though, Drake Maye getting at least two starts in his first year in the playoffs is really valuable. Even within this game you could see him get more comfortable.
