Ladd McConkey had 105 yards, the Chargers led the Falcons 9-7 at halftime

There weren’t many goals in the first half of Sunday’s game between the Chargers and Falcons, but Cameron Dicker hit three field goals to give Los Angeles a 9-7 lead over Atlanta.

While the Chargers fumbled their first possession, they were able to put Dicker in position to make field goals of 45, 51 and 34 yards.

Atlanta kicker Younghoe Koo — who is dealing with a hip injury — missed a 35-yard field goal on the team’s first drive. But Bijan Robinson scored a 2-yard touchdown after a Los Angeles fumble to take an early 7-0 lead.

But the Falcons couldn’t get much going offensively in the first 30 minutes.

Ladd McConkey was dealing with a shoulder issue but was still the pace of the Los Angeles offense. He is the only player to concede more than once for the Chargers, finishing the first half with eight catches for 105 yards. Quarterback Justin Herbert is 11 of 15 for 115 yards.

Kirk Cousins ​​finished the first half 11 of 15 for 79 yards with an interception. Bijan Robinson has 11 carries for 46 yards and five catches for 24 yards. Drake London led the way with 37 yards on three catches.

While Atlanta takes over the ball after the first coin toss, Los Angeles gets the kickoff for the second half.
