On Monday Night Football at Lucas Oil Stadium, the Los Angeles Chargers and Justin Herbert defeated the Nick Foles-led Indianapolis Colts 20-3 to cap off Week 16 of the NFL season.
Los Angeles was in charge for the last three quarters after a scoreless first quarter that featured a total of three interceptions.
The Chargers defence intercepted Nick Foles three times while Austin Ekeler scored both touchdowns to help the team secure a postseason spot for the first time since 2018.
The Colts intended to go deep after triumphing in a contest to grab the first down on fourth down. Instead, Michael Davis was waiting for Foles' ball and intercepted it, so they went out swinging.
The Colts came back at the Chargers a few plays after they intercepted Nick Foles' pass.
Rodney Thomas of the Colts got possession of the ball on third-and-2 after Herbert's throw was deflected.
Three straight possessions resulted in picks for both sides, but Derwin James miraculously managed to make the interception and gave the Chargers the ball back.
Despite the pressure, Herbert was able to complete a pass to Mike Williams by tossing the ball side-armed. Williams' 18-yard gain allowed the Chargers to into the end zone.
The Chargers' 13-play, nearly half of the second quarter long drive ended with a 1-yard touchdown run by Austin Ekeler to break the 0-0 deadlock.
When Ekeler scored his second touchdown of the contest halfway through the fourth quarter, the Chargers increased their advantage and moved even closer to securing a playoff spot.
