The Chargers won their fourth straight game with a narrow victory on the primetime broadcast Sunday Night Football. The Bolts may not have won this game in the past, but with Jim Harbaugh, it's starting to feel like a new era.
Without further ado, here are the standouts from the Chargers' impressive Week 11 win.
QB Justin Herbert
Herbert hurled the stone at the start before cooling off in the second half. He finished the contest with 297 passing yards and two touchdowns. Perhaps most importantly, he was able to continually escape the pocket and pick up first downs with his legs. Herbert finished the night with five carries and a season-high 65 rushing yards.
WR Ladd McConkey
The rookie wideout collected 123 receiving yards and matched his best mark with six catches. As Herbert continues to play better, McConkey continues to get better. He has become the clear No. 1 in an offense that desperately needed it at the start of the season. Without him, the Chargers would not have won this competition.
OT Joe Alt
This rookie class continues to have success, led by Alt and McConkey. Alt was phenomenal all night and Herbert was sacked twice on the Bengals' front line. The rookie offensive tackle could be a candidate to make the AFC's Pro Bowl squad.
EDGE Tuli Tuipulotu
With Khalil Mack no longer in the squad, Tuipulotu continued his recent excellence. Against a vulnerable Bengals offensive line, he recorded 1.5 sacks, five total tackles and four quarterback hits. All seven of his sacks this season have now come in the last four weeks. Tuipulotu ranks 11th in the NFL in rushing quarterbacks.
EDGE Joey Bosa
This was a great performance from Bosa and a reminder of how good he is when healthy. Although he didn't officially register a sack, he was after Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow all night. Bosa finished the night with eight pressures and three quarterback hits. The Chargers' pass rush has been exceptional lately, and that was clearly evident again on Sunday.
