In the debut of head coach Brandon Staley, the Chargers took care of business against Washington.
It wasn’t pretty considering the game was full of head-scratching turnovers and penalties, but quarterback Justin Herbert and company dominated a very good defense and controlled the time of possession.
On the other hand, Los Angeles’ defense kept Washington’s offense in check for the most part, holding them to only two trips to the red zone.
After the Bolts picked up their first victory of the season, here’s a look at how social media reacted:
Justin Herbert is a star. Forget his stats. His receivers dropped seven balls, including two TD’s. Another one hit a guy in the helmet. Bad calls too. Still won on the road.

The Los Angeles Chargers defeated the referees, 20-16.

Keenan Allen is great. Justin Herbert is clutch.
Great aggressive play calling on this last drive for the Chargers. That’s how you end a game.
What a start for Brandon Staley and Joe Lombardi. Absolutely earned this one. #BoltUp
