Brown had a 58 yard run.. it happen.. but take that run away you are still talking about 140 yards.. and also you don;t run the ball 40 times  with our getting some first downs...especially when many of those runs came in the 2nd half 
Andy did not have a terrible game 29 out of 51 for 334 1 TD/2 INT.. yes turnover hurt us 4 to 0 (which also goes to blame on defense.. they made no BIG PLAYS).. Gio turnover to me was the turning point in the game in 1st half.

The lose to Chargers falls on as much the Defense as it does the Offense..

Was that a typo when you said "Andy did not have a terrible game"?

What difference does it make if you "were there" except you were in the worst place to actually see the plays. it's been explained what happened with the Brown 58 yarder. There was 2 minutes left in the game and trying to get the ball back because miraculously they were only down by 10 after the defense turned the ball over 5 straight times.

The offense turned the ball over every series in the second half except the opening drive. The defense held Rivers to 128 passing yards (about 150 yards under his season average). thge Charger's run game average 4 YPC that season; without the Brown play we held them to about 3 YPC that game.

The Gio turnover wasn't the turning point. our crappy D held SD to 3 and out after that turnover (if memory serves SD actually lost yards) and we put 3 more points on the board before halftime. Anyone who says the defense was as responsible for that loss in out of their mind IMO.
