Herbert leads Chargers to last-play win over Eagles

-

Justin Herbert threw for 356 yards and two TD and ran for a score, and Dustin Hopkins kicked a 29-yard field goal with two seconds left, leading the Los Angeles Chargers past host Philadelph­ia 27-24.

The Chargers (5-3) snapped a two-game skid. The Eagles (3-6) haven’t won a home game in four tries under rookie coach Nick Sirianni. The teams traded TDS on four straight second-half drives before the final series.

Los Angeles went ahead 16-10 on Herbert’s 8-yard TD pass to tight end Donald Parham Jr. The Eagles answered with Kenneth Gainwell running in from the 1 to go up 17-16. Jalen Hurts was 3 of 4 passing on that drive for 63 yards. He was 4 of 9 for 54 yards to that point.

Herbert then ran in from the 8 and connected with tight end Jared Cook on the 2-point conversion to make it 24-17. Hurts answered with a 28-yard TD pass to wide receiver Devonta Smith to tie at 24 with 6:07 left.

■ Ravens 34, Vikings 31, OT: At Baltimore, Justin Tucker kicked a 36yard field goal with 16 seconds left in overtime for Baltimore (6-2), which overcame a 14-point third-quarter deficit and linebacker Anthony Barr’s acrobatic OT intercepti­on. Lamar Jackson threw for 266 yards and three TDS and ran for 120 yards for the Ravens. Kene Nwangwu ran back the second-half kickoff 98 yards for a TD for Minnesota (3-5), which has lost five games by a total of 18 points.

■ Patriots 24, Panthers 6: At Charlotte, N.C., cornerback J.C. Jackson had two of the three intercepti­ons off Sam Darnold, returning one 88 yards for a TD, for New England (5-4), which won for the fourth time in five games and moved to 4-0 on the road. Christian Mccaffrey had 102 yards of offense in his return to the lineup for Carolina (4-5), which trailed 14-6 at halftime after totaling 65 yards of offense.
