Thanks to a fumble by the Chargers (1-1) early
in the second quarter, the Saints (2-0) took over at the Los
Angeles 33-yard line. New Orleans needed only three plays to
capitalize, taking a 7-0 lead on Miller's run.
Blake Grupe made field goals of 35 and 37 yards in the second
quarter for New Orleans, and Wil Lutz hit from 33, 51 and 34
yards in the second half.
Chargers backup quarterback Easton Stick went 21 of 41 passing
for 233 yards, but he was intercepted twice. Stick also rushed
for a game-high 63 yards on seven carries and scored two
touchdowns, on rushes of 6 yards and 1 yard.
Los Angeles' Dustin Hopkins made his only field goal attempt, a
25-yarder.
