In a tightly contested matchup, the Los Angeles Chargers topped the Seattle Seahawks 27-21 in Week 4 of the 2026 season. The victory keeps the Chargers competitive in the playoff race, while the Seahawks look to regroup after a tough loss at home. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert led the charge with a strong performance, throwing for 290 yards and two touchdowns. His precision passing played a crucial role in the team's offensive success, while the Chargers' ground game added balance to their attack. Jalen Milroe was the standout for Seattle, rushing for 53 yards, but it was Jaxon Smith-Njigba who shined in the receiving game, racking up 124 yards despite the loss. Defensively, Derwin James Jr. was a force for Los Angeles, recording four tackles and snagging an interception that proved pivotal. The turning point came late in the fourth quarter when James' interception halted a Seahawks drive, allowing the Chargers to maintain their lead. DeMarcus Lawrence of Seattle made his mark with two sacks, but ultimately, it was the Chargers' defense that sealed the win.
