The Los Angeles Chargers dominated the Carolina Panthers 26-3 in Charlotte, improving to 2-0 for the season. Justin Herbert threw two touchdown passes to Quentin Johnston, who had a standout performance with two catches for 51 yards and two scores. J.K. Dobbins also shined, rushing for 131 yards and a touchdown, while the Chargers' defense stifled the Panthers, allowing just 159 total yards and only seven first downs. Carolina's quarterback Bryce Young struggled again, completing 18 of 26 passes for only 84 yards with one interception, leading to boos from the frustrated home crowd. The Panthers, now 0-2, have been outscored 73-13 this season, continuing their disappointing start. Johnston's performance marked a significant turnaround after a lackluster rookie season, as he looks to establish himself as a key player for the Chargers.
