Jim Harbaugh has the Bengals in his sights.
After two stellar drives by Justin Herbert on an individual level, the quarterback sparked the Chargers’ fourth drive of the game with a 30 yard scramble to take the ball into Bengals territory. An outlet pass to Derius Davis on the following play got the ball into the red zone.
From there, it turned into Harbaugh-ball. Five of the Chargers’ next seven plays were runs, the first of which went for 9 yards as Gus Edwards plowed through the middle of the line. An incomplete pass by Herbert was wiped out by an unnecessary roughness penalty, giving Los Angeles first and goal from the 2.
After another incompletion by Herbert, the Chargers decided enough was enough. Los Angeles handed the ball to Hassan Haskins on the next two plays, but the running back was unable to reach the ball across the goal line, forcing the Chargers into a fourth and goal from the 1 yard line.
No worries, said Harbaugh, who put his offense out there to extend the lead. JK Dobbins took the handoff this time, diving over the middle of the offensive line for a 1 yard touchdown, his seventh score of the season.
The touchdown gave the Chargers a commanding 21-6 lead in the second quarter on Sunday Night Football.
