4 takeaways from Chargers’ victory over Jaguars

Chargers Wire’s Gavino Borquez delivers four thoughts from the Chargers’ victory over the Jaguars on Sunday.

The Los Angeles Chargers snapped their three-game losing skid with a victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Here are four takeaways from the win in Week 14:

Have a day, offense

After a slew of stagnant showings on the offensive side of the ball, the group knew they could be in line for a breakout performance facing a Jaguars defense that’s been gashed all season long. Indeed, they did by delivering their best outing yet.

Quarterback Philip Rivers, who turned 38 on Sunday, finished with 16-of-22 passing for 314 yards and three touchdowns. He linked up with six different players, which included several explosive days that put the Jaguars to bed early on. As a result, they broke 40 points for the first time this season.

Running back Austin Ekeler became the first Chargers back since Lionel James in 1985 to record 100 yards on the ground and another 100 receiving yards in the same game. Wide receiver Keenan Allen added 83 yards on five catches and Mike Williams posted 63 yards on two grabs, including his first touchdown of the season.
