The Chargers were struggling before and after their bye week with consecutive losses to the Ravens and Patriots.
However, Los Angeles escaped a three-game losing streak after beating the Eagles 27-24 in the final seconds of Sunday’s game.
Quarterback Justin Herbert had a standout performance with 32 of 38 completions for 356 yards, two passing touchdowns, and one rushing touchdown.
With Los Angeles now back at the top of the AFC West, national football analysts shared some of their thoughts on the Bolts’ bounce-back game.
Here are some of the best reactions below:
Bill Cowher, CBS Sports NFL Analyst
“Justin Herbert put this team on his back and literally won this game right there. Their defense still has a lot of concern about their ability and inability to stop the running game.”
Ray Didinger, NBC Sports NFL Analyst, on Chargers coach Brandon Staley
“He is a little unconventional, but he believes in his players and he takes some chances. And to this point most of the time he’s come out ahead.”
CBS’ Jim Hill
“Big bounce-back game for one Justin Herbert because there were, not a lot of question marks about who’s going to be the quarterback, but questions about his progress.”
CBS Sports’ Rich Gannon on Herbert
“There’s a reason he was the Offensive Rookie of the Year a season ago. When the protection is good, he is as good as it gets in the NFL right now.”
