Jim Harbaugh has his sights set on the Bengals.
After two outstanding individual drives from Justin Herbert, the quarterback started the Chargers' fourth drive with a 30-yard scramble to put the ball in Bengals territory. An ejection pass to Derius Davis on the following play put the ball in the red zone.
From there it became a Harbaugh ball. Five of the Chargers' next seven plays were runs, the first of which went for 9 yards when Gus Edwards plowed through the middle of the line. An incomplete pass from Herbert was negated by an unnecessary roughness penalty, allowing Los Angeles to take the lead in the second half and score.
After another Herbert incompletion, the Chargers decided enough was enough. Los Angeles handed the ball off to Hassan Haskins on the next two plays, but the running back couldn't reach the ball across the goal line, forcing the Chargers into a fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line.
“Don’t worry,” said Harbaugh, who used his offense to extend the lead. This time, JK Dobbins took the handoff by leaping over the middle of the offensive line and scoring a 1-yard touchdown, his seventh score of the season.
The touchdown gave the Chargers a commanding 21-6 lead in the second quarter on Sunday Night Football.
