Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers cruised to a dominant 37–10 home victory over Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

Justin Herbert was stellar and the Chargers defense was suffocating as L.A. defeated the visiting Vikings on Thursday night.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman have begun to rely on their young core of offensive weapons. The Chargers offense finished the day with 419 yards and four touchdowns. Rookies and second-year players accounted for 71.6 percent of the total yards on offense as well as all four touchdowns.

In a game that saw the winner take the lead in the AFC, the Chargers ended up falling to 4-3 on the season after a 3-0 start.

The Vikings still have Jefferson locked up through 2028, but contracts don’t mean much if a player wants out. Minnesota already lost Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones in free agency, both of whom are thriving elsewhere. Now rookie J.J. McCarthy could be the next hope. Reports suggest he might start next Sunday against the Detroit Lions.

The Indianapolis Colts are No. 1 in the NFL in several key statistics. The Tennessee Titans are last in the league in many of those same areas.

The Chargers Impact Fund recently received a significant honor as the group was inducted into the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Los Angeles Hall of Fame. The Impact Fund was honored at the DreamBuilders Gala on October 17 at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.
