The Chargers suffered defeat to the Dolphins on Sunday, 29-21.

While there wasn’t a lot of good to take away from the loss, there were still a few players that stood out in all three phases of the game.

Let’s take a look at who’s deserving of this week’s awards:

Offensive Player of the Game: RB Kalen Ballage

There was a consistent trend of this going to quarterback Justin Herbert on a weekly basis. However, Herbert experienced arguably the most underwhelming performance of the season. Instead, Ballage, who was signed to the active roster the day before the game, was among the few who made the most of every snap. Ballage ran hard every single time he got the football, amassing 68 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. He also proved to be valuable in the passing game, both as a pass catcher and a blocker, finishing with 34 yards on five catches.

Defensive Player of the Game: CB Michael Davis

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa didn’t light up the secondary by any means, but Davis was the one defensive player who made the most impactful plays in critical moments. Finishing with two passes defensed, Davis was sticky in coverage. Linebacker Denzel Perryman was also in consideration for this award for his efforts against the run, but he failed to reel in a tipped pass, which was forced by Davis for an interception.

Special Teams Player of the Game: K Michael Badgley

The special teams unit struggled mightily as a whole on Sunday. But Badgley was the lone bright spot, as he was perfect on all extra points. For someone who was unable to execute simple tasks like this just a couple of weeks ago, it’s good to see him turn things around.
