More losers

Bradley Chubb: Where was this guy? He played, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at the box score. Chubb literally did not record a statistic, aside from two quarterback hits. At a time when the team needs him more than ever, Chubb disappeared.

Jerry Jeudy: It pains me to put him here because Jeudy really showed some great flashes, but his two big drops stand out in a big way in this loss. He’ll need to clean that up.

Phillip Lindsay: It’s difficult to consider Lindsay a loser in this game, but when he went down with injury, Melvin Gordon was able to take over and create some big gains in the running game. He also scored a touchdown. It remains to be seen how much time Lindsay might miss, but he could take a back seat to Gordon soon.
