Panthers win the toss and defer. Justin Herbert and the Chargers offense up first at Bank of America Stadium.

Justin Herbert to Quentin Johnston for a 29-yard TD. A beautiful throw and a contested catch. Dicker's missed XP makes it 6-0 Chargers.

Things you don't see very often: a Dicker missed XP and a Herbert INT. Both have happened in this first quarter, and the Panthers have the ball in Chargers territory down 6-0.

Huge hit/sack by Denzel Perryman to knock the Panthers out of field goal range. Chargers D is flying around early.

The Chargers defense has forced four punts in less than 20 minutes of football. Carolina is 0/4 on third down so far today.

The Chargers punishing running game netting big results so far in this first half. But the touchdowns have come courtesy of Quentin Johnston. His second of the day comes from five yards out. Chargers dominating -- even more than the score indicates -- 13-0.

Maybe this was a little foreshadowing ...

An Elijah Molden INT of Bryce Young as boos rain down and Bank of America Stadium. Chargers at midfield with an opportunity to score before the half, 3:24 remaining up 13-0.

J.K. Dobbins has runs of 44 yards (TD), 46 yards and 61 yards through six quarters of the 2024 season. Chargers up 20-0. Dobbins has 11 carries for 86 yards and a TD so far this half.

Halftime: Chargers 20 Panthers 0 L.A. dominating time of possession 18:47 to 11:13. They have 134 rushing yards (86 and a TD by Dobbins), one penalty, and two Quentin Johnston TDs.

J.K. Dobbins is running wild on Carolina: 13 carries for 114 yards early in the second half.

Dicker from 46 yards out is good. 23-3 Chargers.

Full coverage after the Chargers’ dominating 26-3 win over the Panthers later today on CBS2 and Sports Central LA, including a walk off with WR Quentin Johnston (5/51/2) and sound from the locker room.

The Brayden Cole Hinck Foundation held the first Hoops for a Cure Swish-a-Thon Sports Academy to fight pediatric cancer. Former Laker great A.C. Green served as the MC! Chris Hayre has more on the foundation and event today at 4:30 KCAL News A.C. Green

DB Elijah Molden, who’s been with the Chargers for around two weeks, got a game ball today. So did a pair of players from last year’s draft class: WR Quentin Johnston and LB Daiyan Henley.

Five for 51 and a pair of TDs — plus a game ball for Quentin Johnston in Charlotte.

The Chargers defense was dominant Sunday in Charlotte, holding Bryce Young and the Panthers to 84 yards passing and 1-for-12 on third down. We caught up with a few of the stars postgame on Sports Central LA.

Loved Denzel Perryman and Daiyan Henley’s reaction to holding the Panthers to 1-for-12 on third down. Not even aware of it, just playing.
