Two AFC teams in playoff position will face off Monday night, each seeking an eighth win and a potential top-four seed.
Lamar Jackson’s Ravens head west to face Justin Herbert’s Chargers, an enticing quarterback matchup bound to bring tons of offensive fireworks. The Los Angeles defense is middle-of-the-pack, ranking just outside the top 10 in yards allowed per game, whereas Baltimore’s sits toward the bottom.

The contest also marks the first time the Harbaugh brothers will face off since Jim re-entered the NFL sphere. John is 2-0 against his younger sibling, most notably beating Jim’s 49ers with the Ravens in Super Bowl XLVII.
“That loss was tough, but after some reflection and time, it’s my brother and best friend,” Jim told reporters in Los Angeles this week. “I’m really proud of him and happy for his success. It was earned.”
Now, the two are battling with high stakes yet again — though not quite as high as the Super Bowl. Here’s everything to know about Ravens vs. Chargers, including live score, updates and highlights from the NFL’s “Monday Night Football” game.

9 p.m. — Herbert hits Dobbins for five, creeping up to the Baltimore 27 for a fresh set of downs after facing fourth-and-one. Dobbins caught the first try from Herbert for three, but the QB couldn’t find his next two targets to bring up fourth-and-seven at the Ravens 24.
8:55 p.m. — Los Angeles starts off with a handoff to Dobbins, which he takes for five before tacking on 17 more as the quarter comes to a close. Herbert will take the first snap of the second at the Baltimore 39 with a fresh set of downs.
8:50 p.m. — THREE AND OUT RAVENS. Jackson can’t find any receivers and the run game is stuffed with Henry before Stout boots it to the Chargers 17, where Davis returns it to the 36. Los Angeles will have under two minutes to double their lead.
8:40 p.m. — CHARGERS PUNT. A series of penalties and bad luck keep the Chargers in their own half, and Scott boots it 43 yards to the Baltimore 31. It’s fair caught by Wallace, but another unnecessary roughness penalty is called on the Ravens, who are sent back to their own 16.
8:35 p.m. — Herbert is sacked on the first snap of the drive by Oweh for a loss of three all the way back to the Chargers 10. He fails to find Dobbins before dropping under pressure, then he hits McConkey for a first down and more.
8:31 p.m. — RAVENS PUNT. Jackson’s first throw goes deep right for Agholor for 17, but there is a flag thrown for unnecessary roughness on the Ravens, pushing them back to their own 25 for first-and-long. Baltimore was unable to come back from that, bringing on Stout to punt.
8:30 p.m. — The Ravens offense gets the ball at its own 30, where Jackson pushes forward for five himself on the first snap. Henry then takes a carry up the middle for five as well to bring up another first down at the Baltimore 40.
8:25 p.m. — THE CHARGERS STRIKE FIRST! Herbert punches one in himself up the middle for five yards, putting Los Angeles up seven after a successful kick from Dicker. There are just under 10 minutes remaining in the quarter for Jackson & Co. to return the favor.
