Chargers still ahead of Chiefs in new NFL power rankings despite ugly loss to Jaguars

Let's be honest, after last week's no-show loss in Florida, the Los Angeles Chargers should have dropped to the bottom of the new NFL Power Rankings.

In a game in which Bolts' head coach Jim Harbaugh admits his team was "out-physicaled," the Chargers made only eight first downs and failed to score a touchdown for the first time this season. Sometimes final scores can be misleading, but 35-6 frames the Chargers' loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars painfully accurately.

Other than the 1972 Miami Dolphins and 2007 New England Patriots, NFL teams have regular-season hiccups. Hopefully, this was it for the Chargers.

For their ugly performance, they appropriately dropped from No. 9 to No. 15. In the AFC West. Still ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs (16), but well behind the division-leading Denver Broncos (4).

Writes The Athletic:

"The Chargers clearly thought next week’s bye came this weekend. It’s the only real explanation for being outgained by 210 yards by the Jaguars. Los Angeles averaged 3 yards per play, and Justin Herbert was 10-of-18 for 81 yards and an interception as the Chargers saw their three-game winning streak snapped. “We were out-physicaled,” said Jim Harbaugh, who must have hated to say it."

The Chargers will take a much-needed break during this week's Bye before hosting the Las Vegas Raiders Nov. 30 at SoFi Stadium.
