If Sunday night's game was a referendum on the 2020 NFL Draft, Justin Herbert won.Herbert was in command of the Chargers' offense from start to finish as Los Angeles dominated time of po se sion and exhausted the Dolphins' defense.The Chargers' only shortcoming on offense was an inability to finish drives in the second half, but field goals were enough to close out Miami 23-17. Los Angeles stuck with what was working, so Herbert ended up throwing 51 pa ses. He completed 39 for 367 yards and a touchdown Brandon Huffman Jersey .MORE FROM CHARGERS-DOLPHINSMiami QB Tua Tagovailoa had a night to forget, finishing 10 for 28 for 145 yards and a touchdown. He finished the first half with only three completions against an undermanned Chargers defense and struggled to find a rhythm in the second half.Much of the Dolphins' offensive output was limited to two plays: A 57-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown by Tyreek Hill, and a 60-yard touchdown reception by Hill. Hill would finish the game on the sideline with an ankle injury.While Miami's defense was able to hold the Chargers to field goals in the second half and stay in striking distance until the end, the offense couldn't deliver a momentum-shifting drive.It has been an underwhelming year for the Chargers (7-6), but a win over an AFC contender keeps their playoff hopes very much alive and could serve as a confidence-booster ahead of the stretch run. In fact, the Chargers now hold the AFC's final playoff spot at least until the Patriots play on Monday.The Dolphins (8-5) are still in playoff position, but the lo s means they can no longer take first place in the AFC East from the Bills with a win next week.MORE:The Sporting News tracked live scoring updates and highlights as the Chargers hosted the Dolphins on "Sunday Night Football."
