Final score: Chargers 37, Giants 21. [Complete recap to come]

GLENNON RUNS FOR SCORE: Mike Glennon ran for a 7-yard touchdown, the first of his nine-year career, with 1:18 to go. The Giants converted the two-point conversion on a run by Elijhaa Penny, marking the first time since a 23-16 Week 9 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders that the Giants have hit the 20-point mark.

GARBAGE-TIME TD: Mike Glennon hit Saquon Barkley with an 18-yard touchdown pass to get the Giants into double digits with 433 left. The Giants failed on the two-point conversion attempt, and the score is 37-13. The Giants put together a 75-yard, 10-play drive.

PILING IT ON: Justin Herbert hit Jared Cook with a 1-yard scoring pass to make the score 37-7 with 9:28 to play. That was Herbert’s third touchdown pass of the day. The Chargers went 41 yards in 11 plays after a Joey Bosa strip sack of Mike Glennon.

MORE LAC POINTS: After Riley Dixon missed Keion Crossen on a fourth-and-9 fake punt pass from the Giants’ 38-yard line, the Chargers added three more points on a 39-yard Dustin Hopkins field goal. That made the score 30-7 Chargers with 5:05 left in the third quarter.

LEONARD WILLIAMS DECLARED OUT: After injuring his elbow in the second quarter, defensive lineman Leonard Williams is OUT for the remainder of the game.

CHARGERS POURING IT ON: Dustin Hopkins hit a 28-yard field goal to extend the Chargers’ lead to 27-7 with 9:36 left in the third quarter. Los Angeles took the third quarter kickoff and went 67 yards in 10 plays, highlighted by a 36-yard pass from Justin Herbert to Joshua Palmer.

The 4-8 New York Giants are in California Sunday to face the 7-5 Los Angeles Chargers (4:05 p.m., FOX) and virtually no one is giving the Giants a chance to win.

The Giants, once again without starting quarterback Daniel Jones, are 9-point underdogs. Your Big Blue View contributors don’t believe the Giants will win. National analysts aren’t giving the Giants much of a chance, either.

In addition to Jones, the Giants will once again be without wide receiver Kadarius Toney (oblique) and cornerback Adoree’ Jackson (quad).
