What Anthony Lynn, Chargers players said after loss to Vikings

Here’s what coach Anthony Lynn and some Los Angeles Chargers players said after the loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15 of the regular season on Sunday afternoon.

After the embarrassing performance, coach Anthony Lynn didn’t hold back how he felt.

“Seven turnovers,” Lynn said at the beginning of his press conference. “We got our asses kicked in all three phases. Any questions?”

The Chargers had not lost by more than seven points in their eight losses prior to their loss on Sunday.

“The letdown for me was I hadn’t seen that team all year,” Lynn said. “We’ve gotten beat, but we’ve never gotten beat like that, and that was my problem today. That’s my frustration right now. I hadn’t seen that team in three years since I’ve been here.”

Los Angeles turned the ball over seven times. The last time they committed that many turnovers was in December of 1998.

Running back Melvin Gordon was victim of two of them, as he struggled to hold onto the football.

“You go out there and make a mistake at this point in time, everything is under a microscope. You fumble once, it’s like you fumbled three times. You throw an interception, it’s like you threw two interceptions. Everything is worse,” Gordon said.

Gordon, who’s in the final year of his contract, is one of the many players that is under a microscope. His past few games were showing his worth to be on the team next season, but those costly mistakes did not help his case.

No one was more fired up than defensive end Melvin Ingram. With not much to play for, Ingram knows that he and his teammates still have to show up and put forth their best effort the last two games of the season.

Los Angeles’ season has consisted of a plethora of turnovers and missed opportunities. Wide receiver Keenan Allen acknowledged that it’s been frustrating that the team hasn’t been able to overcome them.
