Justin Herbert and the Chargers open the season against the Miami Dolphins in what will be a test for the Kellen Moore-orchestrated offense.
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has had a spectacular start to his NFL career, which has led to a spectacular contract and super-high expectations., the former Texas Christian receiver drafted No. 21 overall. Johnston had some issues with drops in college and during training camp and the preseason. His ability to secure the ball and Herbert’s trust will be something to monitor.
Miami has a new defensive coordinator in Vic Fangio, who was instrumental in the rise of Chargers’ head coach Brandon Staley. At age 65, Fangio is an NFL DC for the first time since 2018, when Staley was his outside linebackers coach in Chicago.Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa looks to pass during a preseason game against the Houston Texas on Aug. 19.
When these teams played in December, the Chargers had a nearly 20-minute edge in time of possession and limited Tua Tagovailoa to a 35.7 completion percentage in a 23-17 victory. One of Miami’s two touchdowns came on a fumble return by Tyreek Hill. “We didn’t do nothing crazy,” Chargers safety Alohi Gilman said. “Just executed and had fun and flowed out there.”
Matching that defensive performance won’t be easy, especially with the Dolphins motivated to right everything that went wrong nine months ago. Primary among Tagovailoa’s weapons are receivers Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
