Chargers cut Ravens lead to 17-6 off Lamar Jackson interception

UC5BJzGLWWBT
Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert are getting all the attention ahead of their first matchup in the NFL, but Tony Dungy and Mike Florio think the game will be decided by which underperforming defense steps up.

A bad day for Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert got a little worse when he was picked off by Ravens safety DeShon Elliott in the second quarter, but the defense got him a chance at redemption one play later.

Linebacker Kyzir White intercepted a Lamar Jackson pass intended for rookie wide receiver Rashod Bateman and returned the ball to the Baltimore 27-yard-line. Herbert hit Mike Williams for 26 yards on first down and then threw a touchdown to tight end Jared Cook one play later.

Tristan Vizcaino missed the extra point, which makes the score 17-6 Ravens with just over four minutes to play in the half. He missed two extra points in the team’s Week Five win over the Browns.

Herbert is now 10-of-19 for 98 yards while Jackson is 10-of-13 for 89 yards.
