Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert led his team to a resounding 34-17 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, propelling the Chargers to their seventh win in the last eight games. Herbert's impressive performance included 300 passing yards, two touchdowns, and a scoring run, while also completing 23 of 29 passes. Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston made a significant impact with four catches for 104 yards and a touchdown. Running back Omarion Hampton added 85 yards and a touchdown, cementing the Chargers' victory. Meanwhile, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 21 of 30 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns, but the team's playoff hopes were dashed earlier in the week when the Philadelphia Eagles knocked off the Washington Commanders. George Pickens led the Cowboys with seven receptions for 130 yards and one touchdown. The Chargers took control of the game in the second half, with kicker Cameron Dicker kicking two field goals to give the team a 27-17 lead. Hampton sealed the win with a 5-yard scoring run with 4:48 left. The Cowboys' Joe Milton replaced Prescott in the second half, but his two passes were followed by a fumble, which was recovered by the Chargers' Tuli Tuipulotu, ultimately securing the Chargers' dominant second-half performance. The Chargers can now clinch an AFC playoff spot if the Las Vegas Raiders or San Francisco 49ers receive help on Sunday night or Monday night, respectively. CeeDee Lamb's impressive season continued, as he reached 1,027 yards, joining legendary Michael Irvin as the only Cowboys players to achieve five consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons.
