Everything was going right for the LA Chargers early on against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. Los Angeles scored on its first drive, came up with two defensive stops, and jumped out to a dominant 10-0 lead in the process.

Then the Ravens woke up. After cutting the lead to three points, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh made the risky decision to go from it on fourth and one deep in his own territory. The Ravens converted and it gave them all the momentum they needed to drive down the field and make it 14-10.

As if this sequence was not bad enough for the Chargers, standout running back J.K. Dobbins was seen going back to the locker room early before halftime. Dobbins was not out there for the Chargers' final drive of the half.

The ESPN broadcast confirmed Dobbins is dealing with a knee injury and is questionable to return. Sideline reporter Lisa Salters said Dobbins' knee was heavily taped and bandaged as he worked out his leg on the sideline. According to Salters, Dobbins appeared like he wanted to return to the game but was ultimately ushered into the locker room before half.
