Justin Herbert passes for 420 yards, but the Chargers' second-half comeback falls short in a 38-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts at SoFi Stadium.

The Indianapolis Colts continued their winning ways by defeating the Los Angeles Chargers 38-24 at SoFi Stadium on Sunday afternoon. With this win, Indianapolis moves to 6-1 on the year and stays at the top of the AFC South, AFC, and NFL.

The Colts routed the Chargers 38-24 to improve their record to an AFC-best 6-1. It’s Indy’s best start since 2009. The Colts began the contest with three straight touchdown drives as they galloped to a 20-3 first-half lead. Indianapolis added a field goal after a Justin Herbert interception to build a 23-3 halftime advantage.

In hindsight, perhaps it was not the best look for a team riddled with key injuries to be dressed like banana peels.

The Indianapolis Colts lost veteran defensive end Tyquan Lewis for the remainder of their tilt with the Los Angeles Chargers. Lewis went down with a groin injury and was ruled out for the rest of the game. Shortly after, fellow defensive end Samson Ebukam was also ruled out with a knee injury.

The Los Angeles Chargers host the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7, returning to a rather standard kickoff time and TV channel comfort zone in the process. Those Chargers have a chance to seize first place in the AFC outright with a win, which would let them move to 5-2 and become winners of two in a row.
