J.K. Dobbins refused to be caught this time around.
After the Chargers took over near midfield off of an Elijah Molden interception of Bryce Young, Los Angeles gave Dobbins the ball on a 3rd and 1. Justin Herbert had previously completed an 8-yard pass to Josh Palmer, his first catch of the game, and handed to Gus Edwards for 1 yard.
Dobbins took the handoff left and broke through the line thanks to a block on the outside by Edwards, as the Chargers had both running backs on the field. With nobody near him, Dobbins burst down the sideline before juking Panthers safety Xavier Woods, staying in bounds as he continued towards the end zone.
To celebrate not being caught from behind this time, as he was on 46-yard and 61-yard runs last week against the Raiders, Dobbins flipped into the end zone for his second touchdown of the season. The run also brought Dobbins to 86 yards in the first half.
the flip into the endzone is crazy, j.k.
