Takeaways and observations from Ravens 20-10 win over Chargers on SNF

The Ravens are 9-3 and living the Hollywood life after a 20-10 beatdown of the Los Angeles Chargers that wasn’t as close as the score indicated.

Baltimore’s defense was dominant, holding the Chargers to 279 yards of offense on 69 plays. Justin Herbert and company went 7-15 on third downs and 1-2 in the red zone.

With the team getting much-needed rest on the bye week, we’re looking at the takeaways and observations from Sunday night’s win.
