The Chargers' offense had difficulty getting into the end zone again, but the defense, even with subs in the lineup, grabbed four picks to beat the Falcons.

The Atlanta Falcons returned from their bye week to face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Despite a promising start and an elite performance from Atlanta’s defense, the Falcons could not overcome Kirk Cousins’ four interceptions and lost, 17-13, to drop to 6-6 on the season.

The Los Angeles Chargers moved to 8-4 on the 2024 season after a close battle with the Atlanta Falcons. The Chargers pulled out a narrow 17-13 victory, one that was a defensive masterclass, as they forced Kirk Cousins to throw four interceptions on the day.

Tarheeb Still had two interceptions, running one back 61 yards for a touchdown and Ladd McConkey set a team rookie receiving record in the 17-13 victory in Atlanta.

The Atlanta Falcons defense heard the criticism and responded with a strong performance in the first half against the Los Angeles Chargers. After entering Week 13 with just 10 sacks in 11 games, the Falcons have brought down Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert twice in the first half.

The Los Angeles Chargers went to Atlanta and stole one from the Falcons in Week 13, a 17-13 win to get back on track. Along the way, though, the Chargers suffered some notable injuries, including yet another for a certain breakout rookie receiver.
