First Quarter


The game began with both teams testing each other's defenses. The Chargers struggled to find their rhythm early on, with quarterback Justin Herbert completing only 10 of his 18 pass attempts for a total of 81 yards. Despite this, kicker Cameron Dicker managed to put points on the board for the Bolts with two successful field goals from distances beyond 40 yards.


Second Quarter


As the second quarter unfolded, Jacksonville's offense began to assert itself. The Jags capitalized on their opportunities and found ways through Los Angeles' defense, which recorded no sacks throughout the game. Notably, Derwin James made significant contributions in defense but could not prevent Jacksonville from extending their lead.


Third Quarter


In an attempt to rally back after halftime, Trey Lance took over some passing duties but faced similar challenges as Herbert did earlier. Lance completed just three passes for a modest gain of 37 yards. Meanwhile, Khalil Mack and Bud Dupree worked hard defensively but were unable to halt Jacksonville's momentum.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter saw little change in fortune for Los Angeles as they continued struggling offensively against an unyielding Jaguar defense that forced turnovers and limited rushing gains effectively. Kimani Vidal led rushing efforts with only thirteen yards gained over five attempts.


Despite valiant efforts by players like Denzel Perryman who tallied seven tackles during playtime or Donte Jackson’s interception contribution - it wasn't enough against Jacksonville’s relentless drive towards victory.
