⚡ Junior Colson's pick-six and impressive defensive performance
⚡ Rodney Shelley continues making his case in the cornerback battle
⚡ Devin Grant adds another interception for the Chargers defense
⚡ The offensive line struggles — especially in the run game
⚡ Chargers running backs combine for just THREE rushing yards
⚡ A rough night for the special teams unit
⚡ Devontae Ross' costly fumble
⚡ Justin Herbert and the first-team offense go three-and-out
⚡ What this performance means for the remaining roster battles
