Chargers highlight: Ladd McConkey finds the end zone to tie the game against the Buccaneers

Ladd McConkey has his first touchdown in almost two months.

After the Chargers gave up a 7-play, 70-yard touchdown drive to Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers, Los Angeles took the ball back and tried to keep up with Tampa Bay’s pace. Justin Herbert threw his first two passes to McConkey to start the drive and move LA to midfield.

After five more plays, a pass interference penalty on Bucs safety Christian Izien and an encroachment call on edge rusher Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, the Chargers scored on a 2nd-and-5 snap from Tampa Bay’s 7-yard line.

Herbert rolled to his right while McConkey accompanied him down the field and, despite tight coverage, fired a pass into the end zone. McConkey made the contested catch to tie the game, his fifth of the season.

That bodes well for the Chargers’ future, as McConkey’s availability was questionable this week due to knee and shoulder injuries.
