Chargers-Falcons Recap: Bolts battle back, beat Falcons on walk-off field goal

It’s never, ever easy for fans of the Chargers. Wildly enough, that also goes for the Falcons, if you’ve ever kept tabs with their fan base.

Possession switched hands a handful of times in the final quarter with the score knotted at 17 and it almost seemed as if neither team felt like leaving as victors. But it was the connection of Justin Herbert and Joshua Palmer that helped put the final nail in the Falcons’ coffin with the two connecting on a 22-yard pass to help set up the game-winning kick by Cameron Dicker.

Despite throwing to a lackluster group of receivers, Herbert overcame several unfortunate drops — one of which led to an interception — to help push the Bolts over the top for the fourth time in their past five contests.
