The 7-6 Los Angeles Chargers have toed the line between elite play and supreme disappointment in 2022, and have struggled in the third quarter of games this season. They have fought hard to secure the seven wins under their belt so far this year but could have gained even more ground in the AFC playoff race with more disciplined play in crucial third-quarter situations.
Justin Herbert has had a tendency to come out exceptionally hot in the first half of many of Los Angeles’ matchups this season but seems to fizzle after halftime before coming in clutch over the final 15 minutes of game time. His four fourth-quarter comebacks are a testament to his ability to go out and win the Chargers games with his elite play, but it seems that the team digs themselves into a hole in the third quarter all too often.
