The Chargers defeated the Titans on Sunday afternoon to improve to 6-3.
Here's our recap of the Week 10 win.
It was over when…

Remarkable number
Of the Chargers' six wins, five were by double digits.
3 stars of the game
- QB Justin Herbert: Herbert only passed for 164 yards, but still looked good in that regard, finishing 14 of 18 with two going over 30 yards and no turnovers. He also did an excellent job of using his legs to pick up yards when needed.
- RB Gus Edwards: Edwards returned to the field and was efficient on the ground after missing the last five games due to injury. He had 55 yards on ten carries.
- defense: 7 sacks
Quick hits
- Herbert failed to surpass 200 yards for the first time since Week 4. But he was still effective by navigating the pocket well, avoiding sacks, making sharp throws to his receivers and continuing to take care of the football.
- Herbert was also impressive as a runner, beating several Titans defenders, including former Chargers Kenneth Murray and Sebastian Joseph-Day.
- The ground game came alive after taking a backseat in recent weeks, and Edwards provided a needed boost by averaging 5.5 yards per carry on 10 attempts. JK Dobbins had 15 yards on 50 carries.
- Jesse Minter's unit lived in the backfield and compiled seven sacks. Credit goes to Joey Bosa, Tuli Tuipulotu and Bud Dupree, who were on the sideline with Khalil Mack for almost the entire game.
- Daiyan Henley led the way with 14 tackles.
- Speaking of tackles, the Chargers have struggled with missed tackles, which has been a slight problem on the defensive side of the ball this season. The Titans averaged 6.3 yards per carry.
- Derius Davis provided the special teams spark with a 56-yard kickoff return.
What's next?
The Chargers host the Bengals next Sunday night, November 11th at 5:20 pm PT.
