The Chargers started Thursday night’s game with an impressive touchdown drive.

A Philip Rivers to Hunter Henry touchdown pass capped it. Seven minutes in, the home team leads 7-0.

Rivers’ pass to Henry covered 5 yards. The drive covered 75 yards in 12 plays. Rivers is off to a 7-of-9 start.

Henry has caught a touchdown in three straight games and is still a major contributor even with Antonio Gates back from injury.

The Chargers followed the score with a quick stop, too.
