Jim Harbaugh has the Bengals in his sights.

After two outstanding drives by Justin Herbert at the individual level, the quarterback triggered Chargers‘ fourth drive of the game with a 30-yard scramble to take the ball into Bengals territory. A run-out pass to Derius Davis on the following play got the ball into the red zone.

From there, it was Harbaugh ball. Five of the Chargers’ next seven plays were runs, the first of which went for 9 yards when Gus Edwards plowed through the middle of the line. An incomplete pass by Herbert was wiped out by an unnecessary roughness penalty, giving Los Angeles a first-and-goal from the 2nd.

After another incompletion by Herbert, the Chargers decided enough was enough. Los Angeles handed the ball off to Hassan Haskins on the next two plays, but the running back was unable to get the ball across the goal line, forcing the Chargers into a fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line.

No worries, said Harbaugh, who set his offense out to extend the lead. JK Dobbins took the pass this time and dove over the middle of the offensive line for a 1 yard touchdown, his seventh score of the season.

The touchdown gave the Chargers a commanding 21-6 lead in the second quarter on Sunday Night Football.
