INGLEWOOD, Calif. – This season’s most surprising Chargers duo continued their connection on LA’s first score Sunday night when quarterback Justin Herbert found Will Dissly sandwiched between two Bengals defenders for a 29-yard touchdown in the first quarter. It is Dissly’s first touchdown this season.

Dissly, who signed with the Chargers this offseason because of his run-blocking ability, was one of Herbert’s favorite targets. He entered Sunday night with 42 goals, second most on the team.

“He and Justin have a little thing going on,” offensive coordinator Greg Roman said earlier this week. “He’s sneaky good in the passing game.”

Herbert continued to pick apart the Bengals secondary in the second quarter. This time it was a 26-yard pass to wide receiver Quentin Johnston that gave the Chargers a 14-6 lead. Johnston is the first Charger with a receiving score in three straight games since 2021. Herbert was 6 of 6 with 123 yards and two touchdowns after the TD against Johnston.

JUSTIN HERBERT.

DIME, SEALED, DELIVERED.
