Chargers fail to score after intercepting Drake Maye deep in Patriots territory

In Sunday's wild card matchup, the Los Angeles Chargers failed to capitalize on a crucial interception against the New England Patriots. After a strategic delay of game on fourth-and-2, the Chargers punted, pinning the Patriots at their own 8-yard line. On second-and-11, Patriots quarterback Drake Maye's pass was tipped and intercepted by Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley, giving Los Angeles a first-and-goal opportunity. However, the Chargers could not convert, as quarterback Justin Herbert's pass to Keenan Allen on fourth down went incomplete. The game has seen both teams struggle to find offensive momentum early on.
