The Chargers were hungry for a win after losing to the Jaguars at home last Sunday. Los Angeles traveled to Houston and got the job done with a 34-24 win over the Texans.
Although they won, the game was closer than most fans would’ve liked. Nevertheless, with outstanding performances led by Austin Ekeler, who had three touchdowns, the Bolts are back in the win column.
Here’s how the internet reacted to the Chargers’ win:

FINAL: #Chargers 34, Texans 24
Got a lot closer than it should have, but LAC are back to .500 at 2-2.
Austin Ekeler with three TDs.

Ball game. It was very ugly for most of the second half, but Justin Herbert, Austin Ekeler and Mike Williams stepped up when the team needed it. Still a lot of things to address.

Ayyy the chargers looked good this week I’m glad I can come back and enjoy Twitter this week with out all these toxic posts

This game should not have been stressful at all but a win is a win and the Chargers made plays when they had to have them most. And perhaps most importantly, Jamaree Salyer passes his first test with flying colors!
