Joey Bosa’s Unsportsmanlike Penalty Costs Chargers Dearly in Stunning Loss to Jaguars

Everything went right for the Chargers in the first half of their wild-card game against the Jaguars on Saturday. Los Angeles led 27–7 at halftime and appeared to be on its way to the AFC divisional round after a strong first-half performance.

That’s until Jags head coach Doug Pederson put together a master class in play calling and Trevor Lawrence redeemed himself in the second half after throwing four interceptions in the first 30 minutes of action. Following Lawrence’s fourth touchdown pass—a nine-yard reception to Christian Kirk—with 5:25 to play in the fourth quarter, Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa believed that officials missed a false start penalty against Jacksonville.
