The Chargers are 7-4 after a 35-6 road loss to the Jaguars.

Here are five takeaways from Week 11.

1. Tough one on the road

That's not how the Chargers wanted to go into the bye week.

The Bolts were flat in all phases Sunday as their three-game win streak came to a halt, leading Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh and others to offer an honest assessment of the loss.

"We got beat every which way you could possibly be beat," Harbaugh said. "We'll fly back to L.A. and get together and figure out what we're going to do about it.

"Every possible phase of the game, including strategy, we got beat in every possible way," Harbaugh added.

Justin Herbert said: "We just didn't execute."

Derwin James added: "We've got to show up ready to play every week. Anybody can humble you and today the Jags humbled us."

The Chargers led 3-0 early but nothing went right after that as the Bolts trailed 14-6 at the half.

The second half was then fully tilted in the direction of the Jaguars. The Chargers were outscored 21-0 in the final two quarters as Jacksonville scored the game's final 28 points.

Overall, the Chargers were outgained 345 to 132 in total yards and also lost the third-down battle. The Bolts converted just three of 12 tries on third downs while the Jaguars were 5-of-10 in that area.

"Team loss," Elijah Molden said.

James added: "Very disappointing."

The Chargers will now head into their bye week before hosting the Raiders at home in Week 13.

"This league is about bouncing back," Khalil Mack said.

Mack was asked if the double-digit loss changes his approach to the bye.

"It ain't time to chill. We've got work to do. That's going to be the message from me," Mack said.

Harbaugh added: "Now we're going to figure out what we're going to do about it. I'm going to assume, what I know of our team, that they'll respond. You look at what you're doing schematically, who's doing it, how they're doing it, how you're coaching it. You look at every possible aspect."

Molden said: "There's a lot of games left. The sky is not falling. This one game doesn't define us or what we've been doing. We'll self-evaluate and reset and get our bodies feeling great. But we have to come back strong."

2. Herbert, starters taken out in 4th quarter

Herbert didn't last the full game Sunday in Jacksonville.

The Chargers quarterback was among a handful of starters on both sides of the ball who were removed from the game early in the fourth quarter.

"We just weren't doing anything well. Offensively, we weren't running the ball well, we weren't protecting, we weren't getting open," Harbaugh said. "Defensively, the same. We weren't stopping the run, we were loose in coverage. You can go through every phase."

Offensively, Kimani Vidal, Trey Pipkins III and Bradley Bozeman came out while Khalil Mack, Tuli Tuipulotu, Daiyan Henley, Denzel Perryman, Donte Jackson and Cam Hart were among the defensive starters who were given a break on the sideline.

Herbert looked like he was going to come out of the game late in the first half when Trey Lance came onto the field at quarterback on fourth down. Herbert had been hit hard on the play before — which drew a flag — but the Chargers called a timeout and decided to punt.

Lance eventually entered the game at quarterback in the fourth quarter.

Harbaugh said postgame that he believed Herbert was initially taken out for precautionary reasons.

"I think they were evaluating him for a concussion. That's what I think, but he was cleared," Harbaugh said.

3. Run defense falters

The Chargers defense had been the league's best unit during a recent three-game win streak, leading the NFL in defensive EPA per play of -0.333 in that timespan, according to Pro Football Focus.

The Bolts run defense was a vital part of that hot streak as that phase had allowed an average of 65 rushing yards per game.

The script was flipped Sunday as the Chargers allowed a season-high 192 rushing yards and a whopping four scores on the ground.

"We got out-physical, as well," Harbaugh said.

Defensive players said they'd need to watch the film for a deep understanding of what went wrong. But on the surface, one specific are was pointed out by both Mack and Molden.

"It was a lot of movement and cutbacks. They played with great vision," Mack said. "We just have to make our tackles when we've got them."

Molden added: "Tackling at the three levels needs to be better, for sure. We need to tackle better. All of us."

4. Offense can't get in rhythm

Even before Herbert went out, the offense couldn't sustain any momentum.

The unit had eclipsed 300 total yards in all 10 games so far this season but couldn't get to half of that amount against the Jaguars.

Herbert, in three-plus quarters of action, completed 10 of 18 passes for 81 yards with an interception.

His yardage total was the lowest of his career and his passer rating of 44.0 was the second-lowest mark of his career.

"We just never got set up, in rhythm or comfortable," Herbert said.

It didn't help that the Chargers couldn't run the ball as they had just 42 yards on the ground in Week 11.

But Herbert accounted for half of those yards on his own as Bolts running backs combined for 10 carries for 20 total yards. Kimani Vidal sustained a first-half thigh injury and was limited to 13 yards on five carries.

"As a whole, the level of execution wasn't high enough," Zion Johnson said. "We can look at the tape, approach this bye week and see where we can improve as a team, as a whole."

5. Bolts lose TOP battle

The Chargers entered Week 11 leading the NFL in time of possession at 33 minutes and 36 seconds.

The formula behind that stat is simple: controlling the clock means controlling the ball, which keeps your defense fresh and wears down the opposition.

The opposite happened Sunday in Jacksonville.

The Bolts possessed the ball for just 22:05 in Week 11, which was their lowest mark since Harbaugh arrived in 2024.

The Chargers previous lowest mark under Harbaugh was 23:12 against Tampa Bay last season, and the lowest mark in 2025 had been 24:32 against the Giants.

The skewed time-of-possession battle led to a discrepancy in first downs, too.

The Jaguars had 30 total first downs Sunday while the Chargers managed just six, the same number of points they scored.

"We were on the field for too long. We have to be better," James said.
