“Great team win,” Harbaugh continued. “It was amazing.”

After jumping out to a 27-6 lead, the Chargers gave up 21 unanswered second-half points to Joe Burrow and the Bengals. Then, with the game tied at 27 and the ball in their offense’s hands and just 18 seconds remaining, running back JK Dobbins took the ball 29 yards to the end zone to seal the LA win.

“Answer. This is — just because we lost momentum didn’t mean they had it,” Harbaugh said of his message to the team after they gave up their three-score lead. “We’ll get it back. (The guys) didn’t flinch. Didn’t bend. Didn’t even stumble. Just kept at it and answered.”

The Chargers now sit at 7-3 and are second only to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West. They welcome the 7-4 Baltimore Ravens to SoFi Stadium next week for their second consecutive primetime game, this time on ESPN’s Monday night football.
