When the Chargers announced their inactives prior to their matchup with the Chiefs, and rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey was among them, confidence in the offense took an understandable nose dive before kickoff.
The first 30 minutes of regulation where the Chargers failed to score any points also didn’t help the idea that it was going to be a long night Justin Herbert and company.
But then the second half started and something began to happen. Herbert and the offence marched down the field and scored touchdowns on each of their first two drives of the third quarter.
