The Bengals lose to the Chargers and have no margin for error. Cincinnati won't make the playoffs unless they run the table.

The Bengals defense has forced just four interceptions by opposing starting quarterbacks, with those QB’s averaging 35 pass attempts per game. Justin Herbert has attempted 35 or more pass attempts just once this season and has thrown one total interception.

Even after yet another painful loss in a season full of heartbreakers for Cincinnati, head coach Zac Taylor insisted his beleaguered Bengals can still make the playoffs. Taylor's Bengals (4-7) and their fans might be finding it increasingly hard to keep the faith after the Los Angeles Chargers delivered their latest gut punch.

Herbert hit two big passes to Ladd McConkey in the final minute to get the Chargers into FG range before J.K. Dobbins took care of things himself by breaking a 29-yard TD run with 18 seconds left.

Jim Harbaugh and the Los Angeles Chargers finally have their signature win. Even if it ended up being a white-knuckle finish. The Chargers squandered a 21-point third-quarter lead Sunday night against the Cincinnati Bengals before J.

The defense and QB Justin Herbert buoyed the Chargers as they avoided another late-game meltdown to beat the Bengals on Sunday night, a scenario that illustrated how different the team is under coach Jim Harbaugh.
