Panthers vs Chargers Preview

The Chargers fell to 1-1 last week, but they came away with plenty to feel positive about: Los Angeles took the defending Super Bowl champions down to the wire, as the Kansas City Chiefs hit a 58-yard field goal in overtime for a 23-20 victory, and rookie quarterback Justin Herbert impressed in his first NFL start.

The No. 6 overall pick connected on 22 of 33 passes for 311 yards, a touchdown and an interception, and he led an 82-yard drive in the fourth quarter that resulted in a field goal to put his side up 20-17 with 2:27 remaining.

“I was really excited,” Herbert said, according to The Associated Press. “This is something I’ve waited for my entire life, and sure it didn’t end the way we wanted to, but we made some big plays along the way.”

Herbert didn’t get the starting nod until pregame warmups, when Tyrod Taylor was scratched with cracked ribs and a punctured lung.

“Really, it was probably the best scenario for him to have to go into the game, in that aspect of just like nerves and having to think too much, or anything,” tight end Hunter Henry said, according to Chargers.com. “He just kind of got thrown into the fire and he responded great. I’m really proud of him on how he played.”

The Panthers succumbed to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-17 on the road last week to fall to 0-2 on the year. They outgained the Bucs 427-339 but lost the turnover battle 4-2.

“Nine penalties and four giveaways, but it’s a one-score game in the fourth quarter,” Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said, per AP. “We have to do a better job of playing clear football.”

Carolina quarterback Teddy Bridgewater went 33-of-42 for 367 yards with 2 interceptions and no touchdowns. He and wide receiver Robby Anderson each lost a fumble.

“We just can’t beat ourselves and have negative plays,” Bridgewater said, per AP. “But hats off to Tampa. They are a great team. We talked about protecting the ball and protecting the QB, and we have four turnovers. I have to be better and I take ownership in that.”

Star running back Christian McCaffrey amassed 88 yards from scrimmage and a pair of scores before suffering a high-ankle sprain. He’s been placed on injured reserve and will miss at least three games.

“They say four to six weeks [to recover],” McCaffrey said Monday, according to ESPN. “Well, that’s a challenge to me. Hopefully, I’ll get back a lot earlier than this.”
