4 takeaways from Chargers’ loss to Patriots

Chargers Wire’s Gavino Borquez breaks down Los Angeles’ embarrassing loss to New England in Week 13.

Special teams implosion

The Chargers made some changes to the coaching staff, demoting George Stewart and promoting Keith Burns and Chris Caminiti, in hopes of improving the special teams unit. However, the changes didn’t pay off and they actually might’ve made matters worse.

Los Angeles allowed two touchdowns on a punt return and a blocked field goal. They also missed a field goal and committed two penalties on punt returns with a false start and 10 men on the field, all of which came in the first half.

”It was unacceptable, special teams was,” Lynn said. ”The whole operation. Today got confusing on the field. It was unacceptable.”
