The Chargers jumped to a 10-0 lead but the defense allowed a season high 212 yards rushing and the Ravens took advantage of second-half mistakes in a 30-23 win.
A dropped pass. Then a missed tackle. Ultimately a 51-yard touchdown by the Baltimore Ravens that spelled the end of the Chargers’ four-game winning streak.
Searching for an opportunity to establish themselves as legitimate playoff threats, the Chargers instead found mistakes and another anemic second-half offense in a 30-23 loss to the Ravens on Monday at SoFi Stadium.
The Ravens (8-4) rushed for 212 yards, a season-high for a Chargers opponent, led by 140 from Derrick Henry. Instead of the towering 6-foot-3 Henry, however, it was Justice Hill — a 5-10, 195-pound former fourth-round pick — who made the decisive play, scoring on a 51-yard run with 7:24 remaining.
The game-breaking touchdown was set up by a dropped pass on third and six by Quentin Johnston on the Chargers’ previous possession when they trailed by seven. The second-year receiver had a wide-open catch with plenty of room to run, but the ball glanced off his hands.
