The New York Jets struck first in Los Angeles.

After a defensive stop, Brant Boyer‘s special teams unit came up huge. Henry Anderson blocked a punt and Quinnen Williams recovered it to set the Jets offense up at the Chargers’ 29-yard line.

After a few nice Frank Gore runs, La’Mical Perine tallied his second touchdown of the season, a 5-yard variety with jet-motion in the background.

Sam Ficken missed the extra point which means the Jets’ led just 6-0.

In the early going, Los Angeles has controlled time of possession. Rookie Bryce Hall has seen a ton of work on the first two Chargers’ drives. He made a nice tackle against a wide receiver screen and has been challenged by rookie Justin Herbert.

One play featured a Hall defensive pass interference and another saw Hall stick with Mike Williams on a go-route to help the play to an incompletion.

The Bolts took the ball down to the Jets’ 1-yard line on their second drive, but Keenan Allen fumbled. Marcus Maye dislodged the ball as Allen dove for the end zone.

However, Joe Flacco gave it right back. A lazy toss to the flat was picked and returned to the house by Tevaughn Campbell, a former Jet.

The Los Angeles Chargers currently lead the New York Jets by a score of 7-6 with a little over two minutes to go in the first quarter.
