Chargers bounce back from tough loss on a short week dominating the Vikings on Thursday Night Football. LA runs for 207 yards, and holds the Vikings to 34 yards on the ground in a thorough domination of the ground game. Herbert was efficient through the air going 18/25 227 yards and 3TDs. He threw an ill advised pass over the middle that got picked off giving the Vikings a short field for their only TD. The Vikings also got another potential pick 6 taken away during an official review. Regardless, there was no way the Vikings were ever going to win this game. 

The Chargers dominated the Vikings on the ground and through the air. LA had 5 sacks, 7 TFLs, an INT and pressured Wentz all game long. Wentz was in considerable pain and probably shouldn't have played the second half. 

Both teams have been decimated with injuries, the Vikings missing both starting tackles, and a big time playmaker Andrew Van Ginkel among other. 

The Chargers got Joe Alt back which seemed to have made a big difference in the run game as they racked up 207 rushing yards with third string RB Kimani Vidal. Rookie TE Oronde Gadsden got in the action with 5 catches for 77 yards and a TD. 

This was a complete team effort from the Chargers dominating the Vikings in all phases of the game. The Chargers are firmly in the mix for both a division title and a high seed for the playoffs if they can maintain this pace moving into the second half of the season.

The Vikings on the other hand seem to be in the midst of a lost season with mounting injuries, a big question mark at QB, and no answers on defense.
