Chargers fans rip Jalen Reagor, referees after loss to Cardinals

Two plays for the Los Angeles Chargers were key turning points in the 17-15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night.

One happened in the first half when Jalen Reagor, freshly called up from the practice squad, caught a pass from Justin Herbert that probably should have gone for a touchdown—and fumbled it out of the endzone for a touchback. The Chargers wouldn’t score a touchdown all game.

The second occurred on the final drive of the game as referees called rookie corner Cam Hart for an unnecessary roughness penalty that was, in a word, controversial. The Cardinals would benefit, then kick the game-winning field goal.

Here’s a look at reactions to those key points.

Jalen Reagor's mistake

Didn’t realize Jalen Reagor was on the Chargers active roster but this feels like the appropriate way to learn that information. https://t.co/pJWQOzehTL

Jalen Reagor has been on the team for 5 seconds and I already hate him

Harbaugh established the run, got the defense flowing downhill, called a shot at the perfect time & then there was Jalen Reagor.

That call against Cam Hart was egregious and will decide who wins this game. Could decide playoff berths when it’s all said and done. Amazing.

Awful call @espn on Cam Hart

🚨🚨WORST CALL OF THE DAY🚨🚨

The refs call this a personal foul against the #Chargers defensive back for trying to make a play on the ball.

😳

Coach Jim Harbaugh was going crazy on the sideline…

PATHETIC CALL. THIS IS TACKLE FOOTBALL. pic.twitter.com/4usv4gmFJP
