"For the first time in franchise history, they have started the season with consecutive victories over all three AFC West opponents, completing the job Sunday with a 23-20 comeback victory over the Denver Broncos at SoFi Stadium. Cameron Dicker clinched the victory with a 43-yard field goal as time expired, improving his record to eight for eight on winning kicks."
"It was a familiar combination that brought the Chargers back from the edge of defeat: Justin Herbert to Keenan Allen. Those two connected on a 20-yard touchdown in the waning minutes, tying a home opener that had been steadily slipping away from the Chargers in the second half. During one stretch, they were outscored, 17-0. Herbert completed 28 of 47 passes for 300 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. Quentin Johnson made six catches for 89 yards and Allen had seven receptions for 65 yards."
The Chargers opened the season 3-0 with consecutive victories over all three AFC West opponents, marking the first time in franchise history and the first 3-0 start since 2002. Cameron Dicker kicked a 43-yard field goal as time expired to secure a 23-20 comeback win over the Denver Broncos, improving his record to eight for eight on winning kicks. Justin Herbert completed 28 of 47 passes for 300 yards with a touchdown and an interception, connecting late with Keenan Allen for a 20-yard score. Running the ball remains uncertain after Najee Harris suffered a suspected Achilles injury, potentially complicating the rushing attack.
