The ref followed a guy walking away, yelled at him, then threw a flag when the player responded

That ref just chased down Bosa, who was walking away, jawed at him, and threw a penalty flag.

It probably won't matter at all, but that was absurd.

Tough to know. Looked like Bosa said a magic word, the ref followed him to tell him knock it off the Bosa said it again. Bosa’s reaction made it look like he thought he had gotten his money’s worth.

Agreed, 100% absurd by the ref there....

Unless there was some racial slur/n-word situation, that was legit nuts for the ref to act that way and throw a flag.

It's also hilarious the Chargers aren't using Ekeler in the passing game. Like, not even considering it. He had over 100 catches this season.

And Josh Kelly is getting as much work as Ekeler in general. Just great Brandon stuff.

That seemed like a borderline flop, but the Jags dude needs to be more aware for sure.

Miracle penalty to bail LAC out. So let's run Ekeler right up the middle, again.

Ekeler 12 rushes for 31 yards.

Brandon Staley everybody.

That was a garbage call, 1/2 second after the whistle blew and no one threw him down. This crew doesn't seem to be playoff caliber.

Staley doesn’t call the plays on offense.
They need to run some clock too. Ideally they find some other ways to do it (short WR pass / screens) but they can’t just have Herbert throwing incomplete passes with the Jags offense tsunami coming at them. Also maybe Herbert should stop snapping the ball with 11 seconds on the clock.

I’d like to see herbert run more. Especially in this scenario - looks like he could get chunks
