Falcons lose to Chargers on last-second field goal

Atlanta’s secondary was undermanned coming in, but the Chargers were also down their top two wide receivers.  After a slow start on the team’s first two drives, QB Justin Herbert completed 10 straight passes to give Los Angeles a 14-10 halftime lead. The Chargers converted on 8-of-16 third downs for the game, and the Falcons couldn’t get a stop when they needed one. Safety Richie Grant’s interception helped Atlanta take a 17-14 lead in the third quarter. Overall, Herbert completed 30-of-43 passes for 245 yards, one touchdown and one interception. The defense played good enough to win for the most part, but the offense went cold in the second half.
