Swanson: Chargers, Justin Herbert mount resounding response

INGLEWOOD — What a response the Chargers mounted with their 34-27 victory over the Denver Broncos on Thursday night at SoFi Stadium.

What a recovery. A wholesale turnaround from the Brandon Staley era, including that embarrassing 63-21 loss in last season’s Thursday night game against the Las Vegas Raiders, a defeat that dropped the Chargers to 5-9 and cost Staley (and General Manager Tom Telesco) his job, clearing the way for Jim Harbaugh to come aboard and infuse the organization with enthusiasm unknown to man.
