An 87-punt return from Derius Davis set the tone for a commanding performance from Los Angeles Chargers who brushed New York jets aside in emphatic style on Monday night.

The Los Angeles Chargers cruised past the New York Jets 27-6 to record their fourth win of the season, and while Davis' spectacular return was the highlight, Monday night's game also saw his team-mate Keenan Allen hit a significant career milestone, becoming the 54th player in NFL history to reach 10,000 career receiving yards.

Fllowing the Chargers' opening score, the Jets responded by fumbling the ball on their next two drives.

It was the second fumble, a strip-sack by Chargers linebacker Joey Bosa against Jets quarterback Zach Wilson, that helped set up a one-yard touchdown run by linebacker Austin Ekeler, giving the Chargers an early taste of victory in the second quarter.

The Jets finally scored through kicker Greg Zuerlein's 47-yard field goal with just six minutes left until half-time.

Any joy for New York was short-lived with the Chargers regaining their 14-point lead thanks to kicker Cameron Dicker, who managed to convert a 55-yard field goal on the final play of the half.

The teams traded field goals throughout the second half before Ekeler ran it home for the Chargers with another touchdown in the dying minutes of the game.
