The deep shots are starting to connect for Los Angeles.
On a second and four from their own 31, the Chargers dialed up a play-action pass for Justin Herbert. As he uncorked it downfield, it looked as though he had essentially thrown it away, the ball sailing over the only receiver in the frame.
What the camera didn’t show is that Joshua Palmer had beaten his man, with no safety help over the top. Palmer was wide open down the field, Herbert hit him, and then Palmer maneuvered his way down to the 9 on a weaving run after the catch.
Herbert ➡️ Palmer! @Chargers are already in the red zone 👀

A few plays later, Herbert rifled a throw to Gerald Everett over the middle to tie the game at 17.
