Chargers – Jets (34-28): Los Angeles dominates a strong but weak New York team | Touchdown Actu (NFL Actu)

Los Angeles Chargers (3-7) – New York Jets (0-10) :34-28

Invisible in the first half, the Jets woke up too late to worry Los Angeles. The Chargers dominated this game in the wake of the duo Justin Herbert (37/49, 366 yards, 3 TD) – Keenan Allen (145 yards, 1 TD), untenable. Frank Gore (71 yards, 1 TD) and the New York attack has yet managed to stay in the game, but the overall lack of talent of this workforce was felt.

New York will have the opportunity to equalize late in the game, but the Californian defense will finish the job cleanly. The Jets are more favorites than ever in the first-pick race, while the Chargers maintain a slim playoff hope.

A thunderous start to the match

Although the Jets are winless, the game against the Patriots showed some real progress from the start of the season. And the start of the match confirms this trend. The defense gets the job done, and so do the special teams with a blocked punt by Henry Anderson.

The Jets take advantage, on the ground, thanks to an incisive Frank Gore and a touchdown from La’Mical Perine (33 yards, 1 TD) to finish (0-6). On the next drive, the Chargers moved up the field before finally seeing individual mistakes kill Los Angeles again. Keenan Allen loses the ball 1 yard from the endzone, and the Jets have the Momentum, which will last… one action.

Joe Flacco (15/30, 205 yards, 2 TD 1 INT) launches his first pass of the evening in the hands of Tevaughn Campbell, who marks the touchdown that Allen let slip (7-6). In full control, the Jets self-destruct.

And the nightmare evening has only just begun. On the next drive, the Chargers attack take advantage of the largesse of the Jets defense to create the gap. Mike Williams fires in the secondary for a long distance touchdown, the Chargers take off (14-6). A few minutes later the Chargers confirm, with an excellent reception from Tyron Johnson (54 yards) and a touchdown from Hunter Henry (48 yards, 1 TD) (21-6). With 40 minutes of football left, the game seems over.

And since the Jets are generous, they multiply the faults to allow the Chargers to score three more points (24-6). From bad to worse for the men of Adam Gase who don’t even seek to win.

A festival of points

The Jets have not said their last word however, since at the exit of the locker room Joe Flacco finds Breshad Perriman (54 yards, 1 TD) for a touchdown of 49 yards (24-13). A break in the dark sky of Gotham.

The match ignites. Justin Herbert finds an untenable Keenan Allen for a touchdown after a 75-yard drive, to which New York responds with a 60-yard drive and a touchdown from Frank Gore (31-19). The defenses did not return from the locker room.

The Chargers are way ahead, but managing the advantage is not this team’s specialty. Once again they play to scare each other, scoring a field goal but forgetting to defend behind to cash a touchdown from Chris Herndon. New York has not abdicated, and offers itself a little hope in the wake of a much better Flacco (34-26). Unfortunately for the New York players the last drive ended with a failure on a fourth attempt, and a cruel end to the game for the men in green who scored 2 points to finish on a voluntary safety.
