EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.—Derius Davis returned a punt 87 yards for a touchdown, Austin Ekeler ran for two scores and Joey Bosa and Los Angeles’ defense stifled Zach Wilson and the New York Jets’ bumbling offense in the Chargers’ 27–6 victory Monday night, Nov. 6.

Justin Herbert didn’t have to do much in this one, finishing 16 of 30 for just 136 yards, but became the fastest player in NFL history to 1,500 completions as the Chargers (4–4) snapped the Jets’ three-game winning streak.
