Game Recap
The Los Angeles Chargers seized control early against the Carolina Panthers, eventually securing a commanding 26-3 victory. Under the stewardship of Head Coach Jim Harbaugh, the Chargers' ground attack was magnificent, led by J.K. Dobbins, who notched 131 rushing yards and a touchdown. Thanks to two touchdown passes from Justin Herbert to Quentin Johnston, Los Angeles built a 20-point halftime lead.
