A other team would have had a boring Sunday afternoon. Defeat a weak opponent. Move to next week. This is expected. A logical conclusion.
Because the Chargers have struggled to have stress-free Sundays.
No NFL team has had more fourth-quarter one-score games in the recent decade.
Sometimes it felt like tight games, regardless of the opponent, were inherent to the organization.
The transition under coach Jim Harbaugh continued Sunday. The Chargers defeated the Panthers 26-3 at Bank of America Stadium. 2-0 for the first time since 2012.
Panthers defensive starting watched the final drive from the sideline.
This was Harbaugh's ideal dominate game.
The Chargers ran 40 planned rushes for 215 yards. It was their fourth-highest production since 2017. They beat the time-of-possession battle by over 12 minutes.
