Baltimore Ravens vs. Los Angeles Chargers game summary
The Chargers opened the scoring via a Justin Herbert rushing touchdown. After that, a costly 93rd penalty of the season for the Ravens all but killed their first drive of the game, eventually forcing them to punt.
The punts continued throughout the first quarter, as both teams struggled to hit the midfield. The stretch eventually ended in the second quarter when Cameron Dicker hit a field goal - which Lamar Jackson answered with a rushing touchdown.
After that, the Chargers failed to progress much in their next drive, needing to punt. Jackson then punished that with a long touchdown pass to Rashod Bateman for the lead - helped by pass interference on Kris Fulton on the previous snap.
The Chargers still had a last chance to score, and Dicker capitalized with a 52-yarder as time ran out on the first half.
The second half began with the Ravens extending their lead via a Justin Tucker field goal - which Dicker answered with another of his own. The Ravens’ next drive extended well into the fourth quarter and ended with Mark Andrews catching a touchdown, but the two-pointer slipped out of Zay Flowers’ hands.
After that, the Chargers were forced to punt and paid dearly for it - Justice Hill extended the margin to double-digits with a rushing touchdown. The next two drives ended in punts before Gus Edwards finally put the Chargers back in the endzone with a rush with less than a minute remaining.
Isaiah Likely secured the onside kick to end the game - the second time in as many days that a Los Angeles team had been defeated at SoFi Stadium.
