The Chargers lost yet another close game on Sunday, falling to the Packers, 23–20, at Lambeau Field. 

Los Angeles might have been able to win the game in the final minute but rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston dropped a Justin Herbert pass that he could have taken in for a touchdown if he had caught it. At the very least, a catch would have set up a field goal chance for the Chargers.

Instead, the ball somehow went through Johnston’s hands, which left fans in utter disbelief. Los Angeles, meanwhile, fell to a disappointing 4–6 on the season.
