Joey Bosa costs Chargers with penalty for helmet toss
Joey Bosa was one of the culprits in the Los Angeles Chargers’ brutal collapse in the playoffs on Saturday night.
The Chargers blew a 27-0 lead and lost 31-30 to the Jacksonville Jaguars in their AFC Wild Card Playoff game.
One of the key plays that helped the Jaguars pull off the win came when Bosa was called for a penalty in the fourth quarter.
Keep in mind some context: Late in the third quarter, Bosa was ticked off that holding was not called on a touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence to Zay Jones.
He ended up being called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that was enforced on the kickoff.
Then in the fourth quarter, Lawrence threw a touchdown pass to Christian Kirk to make it 30-26 with 5:25 left.
On that play, Bosa thought the officials missed a false start. He spiked his helmet in anger after the penalty wasn’t called. He ended up being flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct again.
