Quentin Johnston scores touchdown against Titans

Kenneth Murray’s return to SoFi Stadium is not going as he had hoped.

After signing with the Titans this offseason, Murray was scrambled up the middle by Justin Herbert in the first half and struggled with tight end Will Dissly in coverage. With the Chargers leading 13–10 in the third quarter, Los Angeles was on third and 8 from the Titans 16-yard line.

Herbert dropped back to pass with a solid pocket, waiting for a receiver to open up. Quentin Johnston ran a crossing route that wasn’t picked up until Murray drifted back outside the right hash and chased Johnston as they entered the end zone.

However, Murray was a few steps too slow and Herbert hit Johnston in stride for a 16-yard touchdown to extend the lead to 20-10.

The drive was set up by a 56-yard kickoff return by Derius Davis that put the Chargers at the Titans 43. A 15-yard pass to Ladd McConkey and 9-yard run by Gus Edwards to open the drive put the Chargers within striking distance of the end. zone.
