Minnesota Vikings at Los Angeles Chargers: Second Quarter Recap and Third Quarter Discussion
The Chargers had the ball to start the second quarter, and they wasted little time adding to their lead as they got a 3-yard touchdown run from Kimani Vidal to extend their lead to 14-0 just two minutes into the second quarter.
Catching passes from Justin Herbert is a full circle moment for Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden II.
The league can thank the Minnesota Vikings for that one, as they were blown out by the Los Angeles Chargers is a game that appeared to be a bigger blowout than the 37-10 final score indicated. The Chargers had 419 yards of offense while the Vikings ended up with just 164. Los Angeles averaged 6.0 yards per play while Minnesota averaged 3.9.
The Bolts have since turned to their rookie tight end in Oronde Gadsden II. Gadsden was a former receiver that switched to tight end during his time at Syracuse and it shows when he's on the field. The Chargers loved his potential and Gadsden has made the most of his opportunities thus far.
The Minnesota Vikings generated just two scoring drives and allowed 419 yards in a dismal 37-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
