After a great throw to Jaron Brown for 23 yards to give the Arizona Cardinals some breathing room, Palmer took a 2-5 snap and promptly threw a pick six.

Chargers' defense shines in emphatic win over Cardinals - Eric Williams
"The defense started fast and that’s what we wanted to do," Flowers said. "At times teams have walked the ball on us the first drive, and we just wanted to end all of that -- get that taste out of our mouth. I think we did a good job of coming back home, playing in front of crowd and starting out fast today."
