NFL Week 3 PFF ReFocused: Carolina Panthers 21, Los Angeles Chargers 16

Justin Herbert’s unexpected debut for the Los Angeles Chargers a week ago was encouraging enough that expectations were high in Week 3, but the lack of preparation he had for his debut may have helped as much as hindered.

This week, everybody knew it was coming, and the Panthers were able to better take advantage of his mistakes as they hung on to a lead forged through field goals en route to a 21-16 win.
