The Chargers run game is back.
After an outburst on the ground in Week 1, Los Angeles had struggled to get anything going this season, whether it was Joshua Kelley or Austin Ekeler in the backfield. Against a solid Chiefs run defense, it seemed like Sunday would be more of the same.
Nope.
With a first and ten just over midfield, Justin Herbert handed the ball off to Kelley on an awkward exchange necessitated by Herbert’s broken finger. Kelley made one cut into a hole carved out by Rashawn Slater and Gerald Everett and then outran the rest of the defense for the Chargers’ first explosive run play in a month.
The run also tied the game 10-10.
look at that man go
