The Chargers have moved the ball early in Sunday’s game at Atlanta, and they may come to regret not having more points to show for it.
Philip Rivers is 8-of-11 passing for 130 yards, and Melvin Gordon has a touchdown run. But a Rivers pass was tipped and intercepted late in the first quarter, and the Chargers stalled deep in Falcons’ territory on their next possession.
A 40-yard field goal by Chargers kicker Josh Lambo made it 10-6 early in the second quarter. The Falcons answered with a touchdown drive capped by a Matt Ryan pass to Jacob Tamme to make it 13-10.
Chargers wide receiver Tyrell Williams has three catches for 75 yards.
