🏈 Cowboys 20, Chargers 17 — FINAL The Chargers’ first appearance in prime time this season ended in a spotlight of disappointment. Under pressure, Justin Herbert was intercepted by Dallas’ Stephon Gilmore in the final 90 seconds to end the Chargers’ last possession and cap a Cowboys’ victory at SoFi Stadium. The Chargers had third-and-10 at their 25-yard line when Herbert was picked off. On the play before the interception, Herbert was sacked by Micah Parsons for an eight-yard loss.
The Cowboys took a 20-17 lead on a 39-yard field goal by Brandon Aubrey with 2:19 remaining in the fourth quarter. The boot finished a 14-play, 54-yard drive. Dallas converted three third downs during the possession — one on an illegal contact penalty on cornerback Ja’Sir Taylor, one on a Dak Prescott completion to CeeDee Lamb and one on a pass to Brandin Cooks. Herbert completed 22 of 37 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns. Prescott finished 21 of 30 for 272 yards and a touchdown.
