Steelers could not stop handing it over, and Chargers made it count — 20-17. Matthew Stafford threw for Steelers — 24/40, 253 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT — in a losing effort. T.J. Watt was the problem for Steelers — 2 sacks. Three weeks of this now from DK Metcalf: 77 receiving yards a game, well clear of his 54 average. Total yards: Steelers 394, Chargers 263.

Chargers had no answer. Browns took it 38-7. Ty Simpson threw for Browns — 24/41, 240 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT. Justin Herbert was steady for Chargers — 23/44, 221 yards, 2 INT — in a losing effort. Quinshon Judkins's high-water mark for the year. Total yards: Browns 449, Chargers 264.

Sierra Vaughn: "The Chargers gave this away—4 turnovers against a defense that forced just 2, and Herbert's 3 interceptions buried what should have been a signature day: 369 yards and 3 touchdown passes mean nothing when you're handing Chicago a 2-point swing on giveaways alone." Ethan Price: "Chicago's defense lives on volume it shouldn't need: 4 sacks against a Chargers line that isn't historically porous suggests the Bolts' real problem isn't protection but that McConkey is now carrying an entire offense while Herbert sorts out what 369 yards and 3 picks actually mean."

Justin Herbert threw 3 interceptions in the same game he posted 369 yards and 3 touchdowns, and somehow the Chargers still lost by 6—that's what 4 total giveaways will do to a team that outyards you 465 to 285. Ladd McConkey caught 10 balls for 170 yards and 3 scores, the kind of afternoon that usually wins football games, except the Bolts handed Chicago the game with turnovers while getting zero sacks and bearing down on nothing. The Bears' defense got 4 sacks to zero and didn't need much else; Los Angeles moved the ball like a playoff team and played like a winless one, and now they're 0-5.

Packers took the ball away and took the game with it, 28-14. Josh Jacobs carried the load for Packers — 21 carries, 127 yards, 3 TD. Jordan Love did the damage for Packers — 19/37, 217 yards, 1 TD. Through the air: Chargers 265, Packers 217.

Chiefs were never troubled, putting Chargers away 30-3. Patrick Mahomes did the damage for Chiefs — 30/40, 353 yards, 1 TD. Xavier Worthy did the catching for Chiefs — 10 catches, 171 yards, 1 TD. Total yards: Chiefs 444, Chargers 255.

38-24, and neither defence wants to watch it back. Patrick Mahomes threw for Chiefs — 24/38, 277 yards, 3 TD. Justin Herbert threw for Chargers — 22/37, 250 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT — in a losing effort. Make it 5 consecutive games past 250 for Justin Herbert. Total yards: Chiefs 403, Chargers 313.

49ers 34, Chargers 31. Nobody watching sat down. Justin Herbert threw for Chargers — 18/32, 292 yards, 3 TD — in a losing effort. Brock Purdy was steady for 49ers — 25/43, 274 yards, 3 TD. That is 3 straight games over 250 for Justin Herbert. On the ground: 49ers 200, Chargers 70.
