of October http://www.sandiegochargersteamonline.com/dan-feeney-jersey , and just when they were close, disaster struck.With Tennessee poised to score late in the second quarter, Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota had a pass tipped and intercepted in the red zone. Mariota, who for so long had earned a reputation of outstanding play in the red zone, had to walk away from that possession with no points.That allowed the Chargers to preserve a 10-6 lead at halftime. Los Angeles scored on a 75-yard touchdown pass from Philip Rivers to Tyrell Williams on its first offensive play and added a field goal on its second drive. That’s been enough so far.The Titans are off next week, so if they don’t score a touchdown in the second half today, they’ll have gone a full calendar month without a touchdown. That’s hard to do in today’s NFL. The Chargers even hit a field goal yesterday http://www.sandiegochargersteamonline.com/denzel-perryman-jersey , at least, one of them.But their pattern of strange and unusual ways of losing games continued unabated from last year, frustrated with their own dropped passes and fumbles in a 38-28 loss to the Chiefs.鈥淚鈥檓 always careful to say that 鈥榳e lost鈥?this one because there was an opponent over there,鈥?quarterback Philip Rivers said, via Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times. 鈥淏ut we did do some self-inflicted things.鈥漌hen coach Anthony Lynn was asked about the drops, he mentioned four, and that may have been a generous assessment.鈥淚 think a couple of those might be touchdowns 鈥?plays that we need to make http://www.sandiegochargersteamonline.com/mike-williams-jersey , plays that we have been making,” Lynn said. “We鈥檝e just got to make those plays.”The problems were widespread. Travis Benjamin was guilty. So was Tyrell Williams. Receiver/return man J.J. Jones did his part by muffing a punt in the fourth quarter to set up an easy Chiefs score.鈥淲e did everything we wanted to do. We got the looks we wanted,鈥?wide receiver Keenan Allen said. 鈥淲e just left a lot of money out there.鈥滱llen may have caught most of his (eight for 108 yards and a touchdown), but he’s right about the theme. If the Chargers don’t get this problem corrected, it’s going to be very costly.
