In a disappointing outing, the Los Angeles Chargers fell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 40-17, marking their third loss in four games. After a promising first half, the Chargers' defense faltered, allowing 30 unanswered points in the second half. Quarterback Justin Herbert's interception ended a remarkable streak, and the team's struggles were compounded by ineffective offense and a lack of defensive stops.

Chargers safety Derwin James and linebacker Khalil Mack expressed frustration over the performance, emphasizing the need for improvement ahead of their crucial matchup against the Denver Broncos.
