5TK10

Consider this your one-stop shop on Mondays for all things Chargers.

Here are five things to know about the Bolts ahead of Week 11:

1. What happened in Week 10?

The Chargers picked up a 27-17 win over the Titans to claim their third consecutive win.

Justin Herbert posted a 123.1 passer rating but it was his playmaking skills on the ground that sparked the Bolts offense. Herbert threw for a score and ran for another as he also posted a seventh straight game without an interception.

Defensively, the Bolts sacked Titans quarterback Will Levis seven times as the unit held their opponent to 20 points or fewer for the ninth time in nine games.

Tuli Tuipulotu and Bud Dupree each posted a pair of sacks while Daiyan Henley posted the first sack of his career.

2. What is the Chargers record?

The Bolts now sit at 6-3 on the season as we have passed the midway point of the season.

The Chargers occupy the No. 6 seed in the AFC playoff picture and have a firm hold on a Wild Card spot right now.

Sunday's win — combined with losses by the Broncos and Colts — means the Chargers have positioned themselves well through nine games.

Denver is 5-5 and sits in the No. 7 spot but the Bolts already have beaten the Broncos this season.

The Colts and Bengals are both 4-6 and round out the eighth and ninth spots, respectively.

3. Who stood out on Sunday?

Herbert once again led the charge on offense for the Bolts as he posted a Pro Football Focus grade of 91.6.

Herbert's PFF pass grade was even better at 92.6, a stat that ranked as his second-best mark of the season.

Herbert was highly efficient by completing 14 of 18 passes for 164 yards and a touchdown.

Tuipulotu (71.2) and Dupree (69.1) led the way for a Chargers defense that received contributions from throughout the lineup.

As mentioned above, the Bolts recorded another game without allowing more than 20 points.

According to data provided by the NFL, the Chargers are the fourth team in last 40 seasons to allow 20 or fewer points in each of their first nine games of a season.

4. What's an eye-popping stat?

Herbert ran for 32 yards on nine attempts against the Titans.

But those numbers don't tell the full story as Herbert constantly juked his way past defenders to help ignite the Chargers sideline.

Herbert's 32 rushing yards moved him past 1,000 career rushing yards and put him atop the franchise leaderboard for quarterback rushing yards with 1,038. John Hadl previously held the record with 1,013 rushing yards.

"I'm changing his name to 'Beast.' Beast Herbert," Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh said. "Half man, half beast."

5. What does Week 11 look like for the Bolts?

The bright lights await the Bolts in Week 11.

The Chargers will host the Bengals in primetime on Sunday Night Football in a battle of two of the league's best quarterbacks.

Herbert has led the Chargers to a 6-3 record while Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow leads the league with 2,672 passing yards and is tied for the league lead with 12 touchdown passes.

If the Bolts can win Sunday night, it would go a long way toward cementing a possible playoff spot.
