From the Chargers weekly
One oh three left in the fourth quarter, the Chargers down thirty to twenty-three, first and ten at their own twenty-nine in the no-huddle. Seventy-one yards to go. Justin Herbert was sacked by Nwosu at the twenty, the ball came loose, and Hall recovered for Seattle. By expected points added, which measures what a snap was worth given the down, the distance and the field position against what that situation was already worth, it was minus four point four. It also cost seven points of win probability, the chance of winning the game after the play against before it, the largest swing on any snap from scrimmage in the game. Seattle knelt twice. The Chargers lost thirty to twenty-three in Seattle and are oh and four.
