With the loss, the Chargers drop to 0-2 in the preseason. Of course, wins and losses don’t matter in the preseason, it’s the development of the players and the team as a whole that does.
After the Saints took a 3-0 lead, the Chargers bounced back with a nice touchdown pass from Cardale Jones to Andre Patton which covered 24 yards. It was a big second quarter for the Chargers, who also got an 81-yard punt return for a touchdown with just seconds left in the first half.
The Chargers took a 17-3 lead into halftime but would fail to score points for the remainder of the game.
