The Chargers' game against the Bengals reminded me of the Formula 1 race that ended just hours before. It was chaotic. There were MASSIVE momentum swings, but eventually, the team that jumped out to the early lead won because they allowed the other to make the critical mistakes.
That is not meant to dissolve (sic) the Chargers of their ... Chargering. They still turned the ball over 3 times and blew a 22-point lead. I didn't know who this team was before this game, and I'm still not sure if I do. I love their offensive potential. Heck, I even love their offense as it is, with coordinator Joe Lombardi taking some of the firepower away from Justin Herbert.
But LA's defense is still struggling. They don't defend the run, and they don't really have the talent to consistently see good results against the pass. The Chargers have a ton of potential, but I'm not sure if they're ready to truly compete in the AFC.
Bring some bodies in defensively and grab an upgrade to Jalen Guyton (who played well today), and we're looking at a potential Super Bowl contender in 2022.

The Chargers are doing their best to stay firmly in the playoff picture and a big reason why is how well the offense is operating with Justin Herbert working to Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Austin Ekeler. But how about the defense coming out and swarming Joe Burrow make their talented second-year QB was the one winning and more comfortable to make big plays.

It had been weeks since the Los Angeles Chargers last won a meaningful game. But true to form with a team that goes on wild hot and cold spells, it came through against an underrated Bengals' roster. Sitting at 8-5 (sic), Los Angeles must take advantage of the terrible Giants in Week 14.

Last week, Justin Herbert and company had a rough afternoon at Denver. Now the Chargers made their way to Cincinnati to face the potent Bengals. Brandon Staley's team opened up a 24-0 lead but watched Cincinnati mount a comeback.
Staley's club was hanging on by two points when Bengals' running back Joe Mixon fumbled in the fourth quarter. Tevaughn Campbell returned the prize 61 yards for a score. The Chargers forced four turnovers.
