GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Los Angeles Chargers locker room was mostly silent. Quarterback Justin Herbert and safety Derwin James talked quietly at James' locker, while many other players sat staring forward, seemingly in a mix of disbelief and frustration.
Their 23-20 defeat to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday was the Chargers' fifth one-score loss this season and their seventh straight loss by three points or fewer dating back to last season.
It was another game in which the opposing offense had one of its best games against the Chargers. Last week against Los Angeles, the Detroit Lions' rushing offense gained 200 yards, including 177 yards and three scores in the first half.
It was the most the Lions had gained in a half in at least 30 years. On Sunday, it was Jordan Love and the Packers' passing offense.
