Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit perfectly summed up the Chargers’ horrific first half against the Raiders

The Los Angeles Chargers were not having a great time on Thursday Night Football.

In an absolutely disastrous first half, the Chargers went down 28-0 to the very average Las Vegas Raiders by the middle of the second quarter.

On the play that set up Las Vegas for its fourth touchdown of the game, Raiders wide receiver DJ Turner stripped the ball away from Chargers cornerback Michael Davis deep in Los Angeles territory to position quarterback Aidan O’Connell for the score.

Game announcers Kirk Herbstreit and Al Michaels were aghast at how bad of a game this was turning out to be for Los Angeles, as they could only find words like “disaster” and “nightmare” to describe how things were going.

This was the kind of performance that summed up the state of Chargers football this season, as losing quarterback Justin Herbert for the year put Los Angeles in an even worse position than it was already in.

It didn’t help that the Chargers let up yet another touchdown later in the second quarter to make the score a startling 35-0.

After that, Michaels and Herbstreit thought the Chargers looked absolutely defeated because of how poorly things were going.

NFL fans couldn’t help but agree with Herbstreit’s and Michaels’ assessments of how this game was going before halftime.
