Lamar Jackson throws for 2 touchdowns, runs for 1 as Ravens take down Chargers
The “Harbaugh Bowl” at SoFi Stadium went to John, as he beat his brother Jim's Los Angeles Chargers, 30-23, on “Monday Night Football” to get his Baltimore Ravens back in the win column.
The Ravens moved to 8-4 on the season, while the Chargers dropped to 7-4.
It may have been the first shutout of the season, but the Ravens' offense was once again led by Derrick Henry's powerful offense.

Henry gained 140 rushing yards on 24 carries (5.8 per attempt), as Baltimore's running game continues to beat NFL defenses this season.
It wasn't pretty for Henry, but one of the best defenses in the league couldn't figure out how to get a big stop when he had the ball in his hands.
Meanwhile, two other rushers were able to find the end zone, and Lamar Jackson scored the Ravens' first points of the game and Justice Hill put the sword to victory with a 51-yard run in the fourth quarter.

Things went very well for Los Angeles to start the game, as Justin Herbert had a way of doing as he drove down and eventually rushed it for a touchdown. But it was the only two touchdowns the team would score all game, as Cameron Dicker was busy kicking field goals.
Jackson, on the other hand, was able to get two of his passes in the end zone as Mark Andrews jumped for one in the fourth quarter, and Rashod Bateman fought through a pass interference call late in the first half to hit a 40-yard bomb to Jackson for a 17- 13 at the time.

Gus Edwards made a one-yard field goal with a minute left in the fourth quarter, giving Dicker the opportunity to have an onside kick for a one-goal game.
But Isaiah may have gotten the try to seal the win for the Ravens, a much-needed win for Baltimore after faltering in Pittsburgh last week.
Jackson finished the game with 177 yards on 16-of-22 passing through the air with two touchdowns and one rushing score. Zay Flowers was his top receiver with 62 yards on five receptions, while Andrews had 44 yards on five catches as well.
For Herbert, he went 21-of-36 for 218 yards, where drops were a problem for his receivers on the night. Quentin Johnston was largely to blame for that as he couldn't score any of his five goals.
Ladd McConkey, who has been a standout player in Los Angeles, had 83 yards on six catches.

Also important to the Chargers: JK Dobbins, the former Ravens standout for the Chargers this season, left the game with a knee injury. Dobbins has a history of torn ligaments in his knee, so Chargers fans are waiting in silence to see what happens with their star running back.
