He also ran for 62 more on the ground, reminding defenses they must respect his ability to run. The Chargers had 29 first downs to Minnesota’s 12, a dominant performance.
“It was a big win for us, a big opportunity to correct our mistakes,” said Herbert.
Keenan Allen had four catches for 44 yards as he joined Charger Hall of Famer Antonio Gates, as the only two franchise players to reach the 11 thousand yard receiving yard plateau. Rooke Oronde Gadson II became the first tight end since Mike Ditka (1961) to have 240 yards receiving and two touchdowns in two games.
Rodney Harrison, San Diego Charger defensive back (1994-2006), was honored at halftime as the 44th member of the Charger Hall of Fame. Harrison earned first team All-Pro in 1998 and second team in 2004. Rodney played in the 1994 Super Bowl along with San Bernardino’s Mark Seay against San Francisco.
“Rodney personified an era of Chargers football defined by physicality, emotion, relentless effort and grit,” said John Spanos, Charger President of Football Operations.
