The Los Angeles Chargers shut down Zach Wilson and the New York Jets to grab a 27-6 win at MetLife Stadium on Monday night. That win snapped a three-game win streak by the Jets, and brought the Chargers back to 4-4 on the season after a rough start to the year.
The Chargers scored twice right out of the gate to build up a 14-0 lead in the opening quarter, which was enough to lead them to the 21-point win. Derius Davis ran back a punt return 87 yards for a touchdown to get the night started not even two minutes into the game.
The Jets offense, meanwhile, wasn’t doing much of anything. They settled for just two field goals on the night, and couldn’t get down the field at all. The one time they mounted a very promising drive, Wilson was sacked twice and the Jets had to settle for a 46-yard field goal in the third quarter.
Justin Herbert went 16-of-30 for 136 yards for the Chargers. Keenan Allen had 77 yards on eight receptions.Allen surpassed 10,000 career receiving yards in the win, too, and had a ridiculous grab in what was easily the highlight of the night.
Wilson went 33-of-49 for 263 yards in the loss for the Jets. Breece Hall ran for 50 yards on 16 carries, and Garrett Wilson had 80 yards on seven receptions.
