Justin Herbert was the star of the show, throwing for 274 yards and three touchdowns while adding 62 rushing yards to his impressive performance. Ladd McConkey emerged as his primary target, racking up 154 receiving yards and making crucial catches to keep the Chargers' offense clicking throughout the game.
