LA Chargers beat overmatched Colts to clinch first playoff trip since 2018

• Chargers reach playoffs, beating overmatched Colts 20-3
• Ekeler rushes for two touchdowns in winning effort

Austin Ekeler scored on a pair of one-yard runs and the Los Angeles Chargers clinched their first playoff berth since 2018, intercepting Indianapolis quarterback Nick Foles three times to beat the overmatched Colts 20-3 on Monday night.

Justin Herbert threw for 235 yards and Cameron Dicker made two short field goals for the Chargers (9-6), who won their third straight after getting the help they needed this weekend from Las Vegas, Miami, New England and the New York Jets. When all four lost, the Chargers just needed a win to reach the postseason for the first time with Herbert and just the second time since 2014.
