Consider this your one-stop shop on Mondays for all things Chargers.
Here are five things to know about the Bolts ahead of Week 10:
1. What happened in Week 9?
The Chargers led from start to finish in a dominating 27-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Justin Herbert carved up Cleveland for 250 passing yards in the first half alone while the Bolts big-play offense showed up again with seven plays of 20 yards or more.
Quentin Johnston had the best game of his young career with four catches for a career-best 118 yards and a touchdown.
Defensively, the Chargers smothered the Browns offense with a half-dozen sacks and three interceptions, all of which came in the second half against Jameis Winston.
Special teams also played a key role for the Bolts as Derius Davis' 53-yard return sparked the Chargers early while Teair Tart blocked a fourth-quarter field goal try.

2. What is the Chargers record?
Sunday's win moved the Bolts to 5-3 on the season as the Bolts have now won three of their past four games to move into second place in the AFC West.
Derwin James, Jr. said he likes to look at the season in quarters and said it was notable the Bolts went 3-1 in the last quarter after getting off to a 2-2 start.
The Chargers Week 9 win also boosted the Bolts playoff odds as Jim Harbaugh's squad now occupies the No. 6 seed in the AFC.
Even better, the Chargers have the head-to-head win against the Broncos, who are currently in the seventh spot.
The Colts and Bengals each have four wins while the rest of the bottom portion of the AFC has three wins or fewer.
3. Who stood out on Sunday?
The Bolts big-name players helped lead the way in Cleveland.
Khalil Mack posted a Pro Football Focus defensive grade of 89.0 to lead the Chargers on that side of the ball.
Mack posted a sack and two tackles for loss while also forcing a fumble.
Mack's season grade of 91.8 ranks second among all edge rushers with at least 350 snaps.
Offensively, the Bolts were led by Rashawn Slater's grade of 75.7, which was one point better than Justin Herbert's 74.7 grade.
While the Bolts didn't have an offensive player above 80.0, the unit had five players above 70.0 including Slater, Herbert and a trio of wide receivers in Ladd McConkey (72.6), Joshua Palmer (70.8) and Johnston (70.1).

4. What's an eye-popping stat?
Herbert has taken his game to another level of late as he's averaged 285 passing yards over the past four games.
The franchise quarterback was on fire early Sunday as he completed 14 of 16 passes for 250 yards in the first half for a perfect passer rating of 158.3.
Perhaps the most impressive thing about Herbert's season thus far is that he's only thrown one interception through eight games.
Herbert's current streak of 192 straight passes without an interception ranks third in franchise history. Drew Brees had a streak of 194 attempts in 2004 while Herbert set the Bolts franchise record with a 233-pass streak over the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

5. What does Week 10 look like for the Bolts?
The Chargers return home for a massive three-game homestand beginning with a matchup with the Titans on Sunday.
Tennessee squeaked out a 20-17 overtime win over New England on Sunday and now sit at 2-6 on the season.
This will be the third straight season the teams have met as the home team has been victorious in 2022 (Chargers) and 2023 (Titans).
