Halftime speech by Derwin James could be key to a late-season push by the Chargers

Associated Press  

If the Los Angeles Chargers are able to put together a late-season run and advance far in the playoffs, a big reason will be what Derwin James Jr. did at halftime Thursday night. It’s time for us to play our best ball in December, January.’ I feel like we did that today.” The Chargers got contributions from all three phases in the second half as they stopped a slide of three losses in four games. They got production from the running game, which had become nonexistent since J.K. Dobbins’ knee injury, and Herbert made a great cross-body throw off his back foot to Derius Davis for a 19-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter to put Los Angeles on top. His 43-yard run during the fourth quarter put the Chargers back in Broncos’ territory and set the stage for Herbert’s 34-yard touchdown pass to Hassan Haskins, which extended Los Angeles’ lead to 34-24 and put the game out of reach.
