All week, we wrote about the turnover margin being an important category for the Bucs to win if they want to have a competitive chance against the Chargers. Through the first two-quarters of their Week 15 matchup, the Bucs are not doing a good job of winning that.

The Bucs would go into halftime with two turnovers, both on back-to-back drives, which has the Chargers leading things 17-13.

Baker Mayfield turned the ball over first for the team as they started a drive in the second quarter. The Chargers capitalized and turned that into seven points on a Justin Herbert touchdown pass to Quentin Johnston.

They followed that drive up with one that had Rachaad White getting a case of the fumbles. The Bucs’ defense stepped up, though, and was able not to let the Chargers score off of another turnover.

In the second half, the Bucs will need to force a turnover or two if they want to make this a competitive game.
