On a day when the Chargers' offense didn't matter, the defense stepped up. Although it was a collective effort, rookie cornerback Tarheeb Still was the biggest difference-maker in the victory over the Falcons.
Still, the fifth-round pick from Maryland had three passes defended and two interceptions, including one that he returned for a 61-yard touchdown.
On the play where Still returned for a score, Darnell Mooney ran an out route. Kirk Cousins didn't recognize the coverage and threw to Mooney. Still broken, route jumped and accommodated.
After Still's dominant performance, Daiyan Henley said, “Drug test this man.”
What was said as a joke was actually reality as Still was randomly selected for a drug test. He posted a picture of the note on his locker in his Instagram story.
Los Angeles held Atlanta to just 13 points and earned its eighth win of the season.
