Derius Davis makes diving TD grad vs. Patriots

Derius Davis has his second career receiving touchdown in as many weeks.

The Chargers started their second offensive drive at their own 9 yard line after Davis fair caught a Bryce Baringer punt. Los Angeles’ longest play over the first nine plays of the drive went just 10 yards when Justin Herbert checked down to a wide open Hassan Haskins.

With 4th and 3 from the Patriots 42 yard line, Jim Harbaugh rejected a 59 yard field goal by Cameron Dicker to go for it. Herbert had plenty of time and found Quentin Johnston on a dig route for 19 yards to not only convert but get the Chargers to the Patriots 23 yard line.

On the very next play, Herbert dropped back and saw Davis streak to the end zone. The throw was a little ahead of him, but the diminutive returner laid out for the ball and got a hand on either end, hauled it in and secured the catch for his second touchdown of the year.

Dicker converted the extra point to give LA a 7-0 lead in the first quarter.
