No words from me can describe what occurred on Thursday night. Here's a recap on it though.

Amidst the absolute atrocity that occurred, receiver Josh Palmer, who was recently activated from injured reserve, caught a 79-yard touchdown that would've been a lot more impressive if we weren't trailing by seven touchdowns at the time:

Palmer's return is untimely as it runs parallel to the season-ending injury for Justin Herbert, but given his skillset and the total lack of weapons aside from him that are healthy, expect him to continue being productive for the rest of the season.

On the night, Palmer had four catches for 113 yards, pacing all receivers on both teams.

The 6-foot-1 Tennessee product is under contract for at least another year, and may be a candidate to play a huge role next season as rumblings of a Mike Williams departure loom large.
