Like defensive end Melvin Ingram said in his post-game presser, this wasn’t the prettiest win, but it was a win nonetheless, and the Chargers aren’t going to apologize for it.
In another spectacular performance by rookie quarterback Justin Herbert, the Chargers staved off an intense comeback by the Jaguars to eventually outlast them 39-29 behind a career-high 347 yards passing and four total touchdowns from the #6 overall pick.
Joining rookie Joe Burrow who played against the Cleveland Browns earlier in the day, Herbert became the only other first-year quarterback to pass for over 300 yards, throw for three touchdowns, and rush for a score in a single game in NFL history.
