Led by defense, Chargers clinch playoff berth with rout of Colts

INDIANAPOLIS -- Two teams headed in different directions continued on their paths Monday night as the Los Angeles Chargers (9-6) won their third straight to clinch a playoff berth with a 20-3 victory over the Indianapolis Colts (4-10-1), who lost their fifth straight.

Neither offense was particularly sharp as L.A. quarterback Justin Herbert didn't throw a touchdown pass, threw an interception and lost a fumble. Meanwhile, the Colts turned to veteran Nick Foles as their third starting QB this season, replacing Matt Ryan who wasn't active Monday. Foles threw three interceptions without a TD.
