The Chargers have struck first against Houston.
After a Nasir Adderley interception gave Los Angeles the ball at the Texans’ 25, Justin Herbert and company found their way into the end zone early in the first quarter.
After a neutral zone infraction shortened the sticks to a third and three, Herbert found tight end Gerald Everett up the seam against rookie safety Jalen Pitre. Everett went up and high-pointed the ball, leaving Pitre with no chance to make a play.
The Chargers now lead, 7-0.
