Los Chargers tenían la dura misión de alcanzar un triunfo en el M&T Bank Stadium de Baltimore ante el sensacional Lamar Jackson y los Ravens. Los angelinos hicieron su trabajo para detener al novato mariscal de campo y finalmente escaparon con un triunfo de 23-17 para avanzar en la ronda de comodines.

Los Bolts viajarán a Nueva Inglaterra para enfrentar a los Patriotas en otra dura misión.

Con una alineación de siete defensores y no linebackers, los Chargers arriesgaron todo para que la derrota de la Semana 16, que se jugó en Carson, no se repita. Los de Anthony Lynn tenían en claro que no podían darle espacios a Jackson para que use su velocidad terrestre.

Jackson fue limitado a 13 de 27 para 194 yardas, además que corrió en nueve oportunidades para cubrir 54 yardas.

Philip Rivers completó 22 de 32 pases para 160 yardas sin conseguir pase de anotación y tampoco fue interceptado.

Los Chargers enfrentan a los Patriots en la ronda divisional en el Gillette Stadium el próximo domingo (1:40 p.m., FOX).
