The Los Angeles Chargers fell to 8-6 after a home loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, marking their second consecutive defeat and three losses in four games.

Despite a strong season, the Chargers' defense struggled against Baker Mayfield, who threw for four touchdowns, two to Mike Evans. Rookie Ladd McConkey shone with five catches for 58 yards and a touchdown, returning to form after a week off.

Next, the Chargers face the Denver Broncos on a short week, needing a win to regain momentum in the AFC West.
