Get ready for another masterpiece from Justin Herbert, Chargers fans.
After the Los Angeles defense held off Cincinnati to a field goal in the red zone, Herbert and the Chargers offense took command for the second time in the game. After a first-down sack, the quarterback opened the series with a 20-yard scramble up the middle.
Two throws, one for 6 yards to tight end Tucker Fisk and one for 20 yards to rookie receiver Ladd McConkey, brought the Chargers to the 29-yard line. Herbert dropped back after the pass play and threw in rhythm over the middle.
The pass flew over the heads of two Bengals defenders and landed in the arms of tight end Will Dissly in front of a Cincinnati safety as Dissly marched into the end zone to open the scoring for the Chargers.
The touchdown, Dissly's first touchdown of the season despite being involved in the passing game, gave the Chargers a 7-3 lead in the first quarter on Sunday Night Football.
