Overview
- Los Angeles enters at 7-3 on a three-game win streak, while Jacksonville sits 5-4 after a 27-24 loss at Houston.
- Jacksonville right tackle Anton Harrison missed Wednesday and Thursday practice and may be limited or unavailable, elevating protection concerns.
- Jaguars analysts cite three priorities to pull an upset: generate pressure with a four-man rush, win third downs, and lean on the run against a defense allowing 4.9 yards per carry.
- Protection could swing the game for both teams, with the Chargers ranking 32nd in pressure rate allowed and Justin Herbert taking five sacks last week as Trevor Penning is expected to step in at left tackle.
- Local and national predictions largely pick the Chargers and forecast a big day for Herbert, though those outlooks remain speculative.
