Green Bay Packers fall short of projections, succumb to Los Angeles Chargers in 184.06-182.54 thriller

There's no easy way to put it, Green Bay Packers underdelivered, at least based on projections, as Los Angeles Chargers squeaked by for a 184.06-182.54 victory. Green Bay Packers made a run at it on Monday night, but they came up short. Los Angeles Chargers led 184.06-167.54 after Sunday's action and held on for the win despite 15 points from Nate Hobbs on Monday night for Green Bay Packers. Austin Ekeler (173 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 26 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Mike Williams (10 Rec, 134 Rec Yds) were the top performers for Los Angeles Chargers in the victory. Los Angeles Chargers (3-2) will look to keep it rolling against Cleveland Browns, while Green Bay Packers (2-3) will attempt to right the ship against Baltimore Ravens.
