The Chargers were forced to play catch-up against the Panthers. Los Angeles was close to pulling off the victory on the final play, but they were unable to execute the hook-and-ladder between Keenan Allen and Austin Ekeler.
The loss was a very familiar sight for fans of the Bolts, seeing their favorite team come so close to coming away with a win, but failing to prevail in the final seconds.
Here is a look at how social media reacted to the Chargers’ Week 3 loss to the Panthers:
It sucks watching a game where the Chargers are very obviously the more talented football team and then they just throw it away with mistakes.

I’ve watched that final play 10x+ and if Keenan Allen’s makes a better pitch to Ekeler the Chargers get a TD & win that game

Chargers have to be super pleased with the early showing by Justin Herbert. Some of the movements In the pocket have been more natural than what we often saw at Oregon and the flashes with the arm are awesome.

We all know the #Chargers well.
We know they just lost to the Panthers, very ‘meh’ team, especially without McCaffrey.
What we also know is that losing to the 0-2 Panthers means that next week the Chargers will beat the Buccaneers by 3 scores 😂
