Chargers Highlight: J.K. Dobbins scores first touchdown of season

It took until the fourth quarter for the Chargers to score their first touchdown of the season, but Los Angeles finally broke through to extend their lead.

JK Dobbins, who in the third quarter took a carry 46 yards but was chased down from behind, took a handoff to the right side from Justin Herbert on the first play of the fourth quarter. Raiders linebacker Divine Deablo had jumped offsides and was trying to get back into position, forcing him to try to tackle Dobbins at an awkward angle with only one arm.

Dobbins powered through that offering and burst through the hole into the end zone, extending Los Angeles’ lead to 16-7. It was the Chargers’ seventh play in the red zone compared to zero for the Raiders through three quarters and change.

Dobbins’ touchdown run increased his totals to seven carries for 65 yards and a touchdown as the lone Chargers back who has been effective on the ground.
