After scoring under 20 points in their last two games, both losses, the Chargers offense responded behind Justin Herbert’s arm in a 30-13 win over the Bears.
From sputtering to strutting, the Chargers’ offense scored on its first five possessions Sunday night en route to a 30-13 victory over Chicago at SoFi Stadium.
The Chargers, after failing to top 17 points in back-to-back losses, opened a 24-7 halftime edge and then cruised as their defense bottled up the Bears and rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent, who was making his second career start.
Justin Herbert completed his first 15 pass attempts and finished 31 of 40 for 298 yards and three touchdowns.
His scoring tosses went to Austin Ekeler, Simi Fehoko and Donald Parham Jr. Ekeler had seven catches for a team-high 94 yards.
The Chargers (3-4) also received some production from rookie first-round pick Quentin Johnston, who caught five passes for 50 yards after struggling to find his place in the offense through the season’s first six games.
Defensively, the Chargers twice stopped the Bears (2-6) on downs in the second half. Cornerback Ja’Sir Taylor and safety Derwin James Jr. both had interceptions.
