INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Inside a celebratory Los Angeles Chargers postgame locker room, music blared, the energy was palpable and wide receiver Mike Williams offered a fitting description of the scene.<\/p>\n
“Turnt,” Williams said, smiling.<\/p>\n
“I’d have to agree with him,” quarterback Justin Herbert said with a grin.<\/p>\n
Moments earlier, Herbert led a six-play, 52-yard drive with 44 seconds remaining that resulted in kicker Cameron Dicker drilling a 43-yard field goal to lift the Chargers to a 17-14 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.<\/p>\n
“He’s got ice in his veins,” Los Angeles edge rusher Khalil Mack said of Dicker, who has converted two game-winning field goals for the Bolts this season.<\/p>\n
The triumph, coupled with the Las Vegas Raiders defeating the New England Patriots, enabled the Chargers to jump from outside the AFC playoff picture to the No. 6 seeds.<\/p>\n
