Chargers roll to easy victory in Carolina

For the first time since 2012, the Chargers have started 2-0. The Chargers dominated in all facets Sunday, outgaining the Panthers by a total of 349 to 159. Offensively, the Bolts rushed for 200-plus yards and have now rushed for nearly 400 yards in two games. Defensively, the Chargers clamped down on Bryce Young and Co., limited them to just 54 yards of offense in the first half. “It was really great half, great team play, great effort again,” Harbaugh said of the opening 30 minutes. The Chargers rolled into Carolina and did exactly that on Sunday, slamming their foot on the gas pedal early and never letting up as they cruised to a 26-3 road win over the Panthers. The Bolts built a 20-point lead at halftime and kept things moving from there against a Panthers team that lost 47-10 in Week 1.”Just seeing what the Saints did to them last week, they got to them early,” Chargers cornerback Kristian Fulton said. “That’s the message we want to send every week: start fast and finish faster.” Safety Elijah Molden added: “We’re in the NFL and every team is capable of winning. But we wanted to get on them early and let them know our brand of football. I think we did that.” “You can’t be 2-0 without being 1-0 and you can’t be 1-0 without winning the first one,” said quarterback Justin Herbert. “That’s the way it’s been. I think guys really take a joy in playing, they go out there, have a lot of fun … as long as everybody is enjoying it, playing fast, I think we can play some pretty good football.” Derwin James, Jr. added: “It was definitely a dominating win for us. But there’s still stuff we can get better at. Now we need to come out and be ready for Pittsburgh.”
