A 19-yard Las Vegas Raiders punt set the Los Angeles Chargers up in great field position.
Justin Herbert took advantage, directing a four-play, 51-yard drive in an absolute blink or 41 seconds.
The pass to Tyron Johnson was good for 26 yards, one short of the number of TD passes Herbert has thrown for as a rookie.
Herbert equaled Baker Mayfield, who broke the mark previously held by surpassed Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson at 26.

Kurt Warner could not believe how bad the Raiders’ coverage scheme was.
How do you do that?? If you are a CB playing cover 2 in 2 min… you sink and force the underneath throw… but 2x in a row @Chargers run exact same play and #TrayvonMullen plays exactly same way = 2 huge corner routes and a TD!? 🤷🏻♂️🤔
