On the ground, Rhamondre Stevenson led the way with 60 rushing yards in a combined 126-yard rushing effort.
Meanwhile, the Chargers earned a 34-27 comeback win over the Denver Broncos in their last outing. Quarterback Justin Herbert went 23-of-31 passing for 284 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
Running back Gus Edwards carried the ball 14 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns, while rookie wideout Ladd McConkey caught six passes for 87 yards in the game.
