Chargers Daily Links: Victory Monday Open Thread

Good morning, Chargers fans!

HAPPY #VICTORYMONDAY!!!!!

The Chargers shut the door on the Raiders when it mattered most to escape week one with a dramatic 24-19 victory. Justin Herbert played an efficient and clean game with 279 yards, three touchdowns, and zero turnovers. Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa combined for 4.5 sacks. The defense picked off Derek Carr three times.

Besides the offense coming to a screeching halt in the fourth quarter, the Chargers did just about everything we could have asked for, including some strong special teams play from punter J.K. Scott.

As always, feel free to use this post to continue the conversation from yesterday! What a way to begin the season!
