INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Ladd McConkey had two touchdown catches, including a 60-yard score in the third quarter, and became the first Chargers rookie receiver in 11 years to have a 100-yard receiving game as Los Angeles defeated the New Orleans Saints 26-8. Justin Herbert had 328 total yards as the Chargers bounced back from a last-second loss last Monday night at Arizona. The Saints have lost six straight for the first time since 2005. Alvin Kamara, who signed a two-year, $24.5 million contract extension earlier this week, had 122 total yards. Chris Olave had eight receptions for 107 yards. Jake Haener replaced Spencer Rattler in the third quarter and completed nine of 17 passes for 122 yards.
