Anemic Chargers Lose To Vikings, 27-20
November 15, 2021
“There were drops today that I didn’t like,” said coach Brandon Staley, whose team was held to 208 yards in a 34-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens Oct. 17. “There were some untimely protection issues that I didn’t like. There were some times where a play that is designed to go for a bunch, that should go for a bunch, doesn’t.” The Chargers had only two plays of more than 20 yards. Minnesota had five. The Chargers led once, 17-13, after Justin Herbert’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Austin Ekeler on the opening drive of the second half. The Vikings (4-5) took control of the game with touchdowns on back-to- back drives in the second half.
