00:00And we'll see where he puts it in this landing zone, right at the goal line it will be returned
00:12by Tyler Johnson.
00:13Looking to squeeze through, Johnson across the 30, and decent field position to start.
00:22Play action pass on first down, he's got a completion right out of the gate to Whittington
00:26who is the real star of the show.
00:31Zach Evans in the back, he's got the handoff on first down, stutter step move across midfield
00:36and just like that two plays in a Charger territory as Dayon Henley catches up to him.
00:44So another handoff on third down and that will be a first down, keep the legs churning
00:48and Evans just chewing them up so far the second year pro out of Ole Miss showcasing
00:53early.
00:54What a play so far for the Charger defense, back to back plays.
00:57Here's their first test on third and eight, Boston Scott now in there at the running back
01:01spot.
01:02Bennett, over the middle, it is hauled in, that is a tough catch made over the middle
01:07by Davis Allen.
01:10So it will be a field goal attempt for the rookie Joshua Cardi.
01:16This one curved just in there.
01:20Approached this week with a different level of confidence and comfortability, he's got
01:23Patterson in there to start this game at running back, swing it to the outside here,
01:28catch made by Davis and he spins away and is dumped down at the 30 yard line.
01:37Vidal on the give, Vidal slipping through, that's a big gain.
01:42Smash mouth football, what the Chargers want to do with Greg Roman and Jim Harbaugh.
01:48This is generally where Ladd McConkie excels, look in that direction, instead it's over
01:53the middle, Rice couldn't keep it in his grasp, it gets down but they're going to call
01:56it incomplete.
01:57Rams thought maybe a catch and a fumble.
02:0255 yard field goal attempt Cameron Dicker made from 58 last week and Ryan Finken said
02:07there's no target line, we just let them go out there and do exactly that.
02:12Big play here for this Charger defense early.
02:17Scott didn't get there, good penetration by the Chargers D.
02:25Nice three and out force by a Charger defense that's finding a good rhythm once again early
02:29today.
02:30This one will be returned, Gill busted to the outside, Gill down the sideline, shimmy
02:37shake and he's finally brought down towards midfield, a solid return and better field
02:42position for this Chargers offense.
02:44Officially listed at third and two, really third and one and a half.
02:50Stick keeps it himself, a lot of room to work with and Stick will sail out of bounds inside
02:55the 35.
02:58Marked the motion man on second down, Stick gets rid of it, over the middle, it's caught,
03:03stutter step move, Spiller looking to stay on his feet and he's dragged backward at the
03:07six, it's first and goal for the Chargers.
03:10Here he is on a third and goal, oh fumble with a snap, Stick lost at the line, who gets
03:17on it first?
03:21Rams believe they have it, they do, indeed they do.
03:26Rams looking for their third, third down conversion of the day on third and four, Bennett pumps,
03:31Bennett fires, wide open, Whittington with space to run across the 30, spun down by Thomas
03:38Harper.
03:39Here's the rookie from Texas making another play, play action pass, Bennett dials it up,
03:44right there, perfectly delivered in the seam of the defense to Tyler Johnson.
03:51Play clock down to two, they will run it, pressure comes, Bennett gets rid of it, nearly
03:56picked off, Harper.
04:00That is such a good idea.
04:02It's looking like a quarterback.
04:08Tackle roll out on first down, thought about setting the feet and said he evades, slipped
04:13the tackle, slides down and picks up one.
04:16So bigger back, Doddick's with more speed.
04:21Third down and eight, Stick unloads, he's got it, first down, nice catch by Fajoko,
04:26gets up after the fact, they didn't whistle it down initially.
04:29We're going to get to the line quick and try to get this play off before anybody can argue
04:33and they do.
04:35Stick over the middle, it's tipped and picked.
04:41Jalen McCullough.
04:44Play clock down to three, third down and four for Bennett, surveys, lofts, knocked away,
04:49Dean Leonard again.
04:51He has been making plays all over the field and he forces the three and out.
04:58Play action for Stick, good time, rifles complete, Fajoko in stride inside the 30 and shoved
05:04out of bounds near the 25.
05:09He said leave Kareem in the dust, give me three more.
05:13It's all motivation.
05:14Staggered spaghetti, is that what it is?
05:17That's about it.
05:20Another kick and this time a good hole towards the outside for Stoops.
05:28Just four days of practice before the first game, he's now had a full week to prepare,
05:33fisk in motion and to let him throw on first down.
05:36He gets it out quick, spiral, beautiful ball right into the pocket of Quentin Johnston
05:42for a big gain on first down.
05:44He's playing clean football so far, no turnovers for Bennett after four interceptions last
05:48week.
05:49He'll look for a deep one here, under threw it but the adjustment made, Collin Edge with
05:53back to back catches.
05:57Sixth round pick from Stanford, drills it.
06:02All even at six, eight and a half to play in the third quarter.
06:06This could be a good veteran for this receiving corps, officially listed at third and five.
06:11Perez, patient, Perez goes down, ball comes out, Rams have it.
06:18The bolt to the QB and Perez could not escape.
06:26Here they come, Bennett, lofts, end zone area, oh it's caught.
06:31Patterson back to the ball, Xavier Smith sets up first and goal.
06:38Drake Stoops in motion, fourth and goal, Bennett, lasers, picked off Dean Leonard.
06:52Patterson back in there, haven't seen a ton of Patterson, he was probably the most featured
06:55back in the first preseason game last week against the Seahawks.
07:00Just get rid of it, lose yardage, Patterson makes the catch and Spates with another big
07:05time tackle.
07:10Third and 18, Perez, loft, sideline, open, Johnston made the grab, was he inbounds?
07:18I'm going to attack you this way, that's how the elite guys that are edge rushers in this
07:22league are going to attack you.
07:24Here's how I would recommend you battle against that.
07:27He says it's the first time he's ever had an edge rusher come up to him and say, here's
07:30how you play offensive line against me.
07:34Hand off, no running room, Scott is stuffed.
07:38JT Woods got in there like a bolt.
07:46This one from 52, not even close.
07:53For Cameron Dicker, who is now three for three today.
07:59In the end zone to Leonard.
08:02Play action, Bennett, deep one, down the middle, it's caught, touchdown, Rams, JJ Lopp got behind
08:13the defense.
08:19Hand off, and no real room to work with for Elijah Dotson, as we check in with Jamie.
08:26When we're out there together, just making sure we're on the same page, making sure he
08:30knows what I'm doing, I know what he wants.
08:32He's been in this league, he's done it, so I'm trying to learn everything I can from
08:35him.
08:36He's going to be a slot receiver primarily for the Chargers, and they also think he can
08:41work outside.
08:43Long punt, it's going to be taken by Smith, Smith looking to show off the speed, he stays
08:49on his feet, down the sideline and dumped out of bounds near midfield.
08:56X going to give it to you, but not going to tweet it to you.
09:00Bennett looking to escape, he can't, lost the ball, Chargers looked like they jumped
09:05on it.
09:07Michael Mason was right there when the ball popped out, and the Chargers appear to have
09:12it.
09:13Perez, on Corks, it's caught, with the feet down, no, Cornelius Johnson.
09:27Right back to Evans, he's met in the backfield, Tierre Tartt.
09:35Somebody's got to make a play here.
09:38Throw down and two, ball game on the line.
09:43Hand off, Scott, he's got it, and then some, there goes Scott, inside the 25, he'll slide
09:50down, and this ball game is over.
