These three players on the Chargers roster bubble improved their chances with strong performances against the Rams.

The Los Angeles Rams overcame mistakes, miscues, and distractions to steal victory from the jaws of defeat on Saturday night. In a 23-22 victory, several Rams made statements on the field of SoFi Stadium. Here are five observations from the contest.

Not every Rams fan put it quite so forcefully. Bob Gerard said he moved to L.A. from Chicago and hitched onto the Rams when they returned in 2016. The 58-year-old, who donned a Puka Nacua jersey, joked that he’s fine letting the Chargers crash at SoFi — so long as the arrangement isn’t mistaken.

Los Angeles Chargers receiver Quentin Johnston left the SoFi Stadium field on a cart after taking a big hit on the third play of a preseason game.

"He's got a great big picture perspective and capacity for the game. I've absolutely kept in touch with Brandon. I'm really happy to see him back in a leadership role. I know what a great coach he is and he'll do an excellent job.

Jim Harbaugh won’t be returning to college football anytime soon after the NCAA came down with a punishment for the University of Michigan’s sign-stealing scandal. He’s barred from coaching at the college level for 14 years, not that he has any plans of leaving the Los Angeles Chargers in the near future.

Trey Lance had an impressive throw to Tre Harris in the third quarter of the Chargers' preseason matchup against the Rams on Saturday.
