RECAP – Week 4: Chargers Suffer First Loss of the Season to NY Giants, 21-18
After the Chargers started 3-0, the team looked to go 4-0 and win on the road against the New York Giants; unfortunately, the team lost its first game of the season.
The Chargers are still in first place in the AFC West and are looking to bounce back with a win this Sunday against Washington.
Takeaways
- Omarion Hampton stepped up for the Chargers in the loss last week against the New York Giants
- Twelve carries, 128 yards, and a touchdown
- His 54-yard touchdown scamper in the second half was the highlight — vision, minimal wasted movement, and a gear change down the sideline
For the Chargers, the loss last week is all too familiar, especially from last year’s playoff game against Houston. Justin Herbert needs more help from the O-line, and months later, with the new NFL season underway, Justin Herbert is struggling again with the loss.
The Chargers’ loss to the winless New York Giants reminds Chargers fans of the heartbreaking loss in the Wild Card game to the Texans. Sure, the Chargers signed Mekhi Becton this offseason, but every Chargers fan knew that this approach was simply creating a house of cards. Intentionally running back (even re-signing Bozeman) is a failed duo because the rest of the offensive line is talented.
Jim Harbaugh is looking to get more from his offense in order to turn things around this Sunday.
Will the Chargers overcome the mistakes the O-line made last week and turn it into a Chargers win?
Chargers fans will always remain optimistic and hopeful. The team is still 3-1.
