It was a frustrating game all around for your Los Angeles Chargers this past weekend, and it saw them drop down to 4-6 on the season. Another close loss for the team, this time at the hands of the Green Bay Packers on the road.

LA gave up the game-winning touchdown and that was the final nail in the coffin. They tried to take control again but fell short. Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs gave his thoughts on the game and how the team needing a win factored into it all.

"I promise you there was no difference," said Doubs when asked about this win compared to recent close losses. "It just came down to a few plays, honing in on the details the week before. Coming into this week, we definitely honed in on those details and got a win."

The Packers took it to the Chargers and made them pay. They converted multiple third-down attempts to set themselves up, and they were opportunistic when given the chance.

It was poor execution by the Chargers that allowed the Packers to score the go-ahead touchdown, and they will have to fix their issues going forward. It has become a common occurrence for this Bolts team, and the issue doesn’t seem to be going away.

LA cost themselves this game, but the Packers also deserve credit. They made plays at the end to finish the Chargers off, and they got themselves a massive win in front of their loyal fanbase.

Green Bay linebacker Rashan Gary was one of the stars for Green Bay, and he made life very tough on the Chargers all game. And of course, he was one of the main guys at the end, helping to claim victory.

“The defense was lights out from there on two defensive stands during the final 150 seconds. The Chargers were even forced to punt at the two-minute warning after two Herbert incompletions and a Gary sack for a 10-yard loss.”

Per Wes Hodkiewicz of Packers.com

Now the Bolts head home to face the Baltimore Ravens this week, a game that they desperately must win to keep their playoff hopes alive. It won’t be easy, and the Chargers know that they are in for a big challenge this weekend.
