But the only scoring the Chargers (5-7) could manage was a pair of 38-yard field goals in the second quarter.New England (2-10) made a quarterback switch, benching Mac Jones in favor of Zappe, but still lost its fifth straight game.

They are the first team to do that since the 1938 Chicago Cardinals.Zappe was sacked five times — two by Khalil Mack, giving him a career-high 15 for the season and 99 in his career. In all, Zap...
