INGLEWOOD—It’s been a bolt of lightning of excitement and joy, as the Los Angeles Chargers have a perfect 3-0 record, while Chargers Quarterback Justin Herbert is a front runner for MVP. Establishing themselves as Best in the AFC West.

Since every opponent has been a division rival.

Cameron Dicker’s game-ending 43-yard field goal as the Chargers beat the Denver Broncos 23-20 for their first 3-0 start since 2002.

This trend continued on Sunday, September 21. It was surprisingly late for a home opener, but the rivals standing across the field were all too familiar: the Denver Broncos. The QB battle of Herbert vs. Nix took center stage. Herbert led a late rally for the crucial victory.

Herbert was 28 of 47 for 300 yards with the TD and one interception. At 27 years, 195 days, he became the youngest NFL player to reach 2,000 career completions, surpassing Drew Bledsoe. Herbert did so in his 82nd career game, making him the second-fastest player to reach the mark.

Trailing in the 4th quarter, Herbert eluded the Broncos’ pass rush by rolling left and connecting with Allen — who fought off Riley Morris in the end zone for the 20-yard score — Bo Nix and the Broncos 0-2 went three-and-out. That set up Herbert and the Chargers on their 32, and he went 4 of 4 on the final drive.

“He’s a guy that can make any throw any way possible,” said Allen, a six-time Pro Bowl selection who reunited with Herbert and the Chargers after playing for Chicago last season. “Hats off to Herbo. He’s the guy.”

Even more impressive, all of the Chargers victories have come against division foes. The Broncos, Raiders, and the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil.

Something feels different about this team, and it is the leadership and discipline Head Coach Jim Harbaugh has instilled into the Chargers.

Coming up this weekend, the Bolts continue to rack up those frequent flier miles. It will be an early East Coast matchup against the New York Giants at 10:00 am.

The biggest storyline heading into the week four matchup is the “G-Men.” The New York Giants are starting rookie Quarterback Jaxson, who will be making his first start replacing Russell Wilson.

Dart hopes to invigorate the winless Giants. Although that we’ll be a challenge as he is facing one of the best defenses in the NFL.

The game is Sunday Morning at MetLife Stadium. Hopefully the Chargers will continue their winning ways.
