Los Angeles Chargers v Dallas Cowboys

Despite the Los Angeles Chargers only scoring three points in the first half against the Dallas Cowboys and racking up a lot of yardage, it was only a matter of time that the Chargers would start scoring touchdowns against a tired Dallas Cowboys defense. Los Angeles scored 25 points in the second half to beat Dallas by 28-6 margin.

Nick Novak made a 22-yard field goal for the Chargers in the second-quarter, but he was in pain and Novak had a back injury. Novak also missed a field goal and the Chargers had to go for it on fourth-and-13 deep in Dallas territory at one point in the first half.

In the third quarter, Philip Rivers threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Hunter Henry for Los Angeles. Henry finished with five receptions for 76 yards receiving and a touchdown. Dak Prescott would have scored on a 34-yard touchdown run on the next drive for the Cowboys, but it was called back because of a holding penalty by Tyron Smith.
