Chargers' coach Jim Harbaugh had to leave the game early because of an apparent illness but he and his team recovered in Denver to beat the Broncos, 23-16.
Flanked by team medical personnel, Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh shuffled to the locker room as his offense took the field against the Denver Broncos. Suffering from an undisclosed illness, strode back onto the sideline midway through the first quarter and several plays later, after quarterback Justin Herbert laced a perfect third-down throw to Joshua Palmer to extend a Chargers drive, Harbaugh pointed to the field and pumped his fist. It was as if nothing had happened.
They methodically marched the ball down the field against the NFL’s second-stingiest scoring defense and pieced together a 20-play drive. The Chargers defense, the only unit allowing fewer points per game than Denver’s, asserted their will with two first-half takeaways. Defensive back Elijah Molden started the game with an interception — his second of the season — on Denver’s first offensive drive. Harbaugh went to the locker room, however, as the Chargers went on offense.
