Running back J.K. Dobbins‘ return to the field from a torn Achilles, in his first game with the Los Angeles Chargers, proved to be the spark his new squad needed. Dobbins rushed for 135 yards and a touchdown, forcing four missed tackles along the way.

Los Angeles leaned on Dobbins in its 22-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1, opening head coach Jim Harbaugh's account on a positive note.

PLAYER OF THE GAME

Chargers edge rusher Joey Bosa looked like his usual self, although his true impact came in run defense. While Bosa notched three quarterback pressures as a pass-rusher, he made two stops and forced a fumble on just 11 run-defense snaps.
