Chargers vs. Cardinals game summary

It was a close affair from start to finish, but the team with fewer playmakers looked destined to lose in the end. And that's exactly what happened.

Justin Herbert and Kyler Murray were the two stars of the show, but Murray was the one who made it count. After a torrid first half, he got himself an amazing 44-yard rushing touchdown to put Arizona in front in the fourth quarter and also led the team in a game-winning drive that ended with Chad Ryland kicking a short field goal.

This was a better offensive game for Los Angeles than it was in previous weeks. They finished with 395 total yards, but what's frustrating is that the Chargers did not score a single touchdown during the game. All 15 points came from field goals.

Justin Herbert finished with 27 completions, his biggest number of the season. The 349 passing yards he had were also his biggest number of the season. Everyone knows that the Chargers' quarterback is very good, but their lack of efficiency in the red zone and the lack of a dominant wide receiver is hurting the team right now.
