Here’s what we learned from the Chargers’ 30-24 victory Sunday over Indianapolis:
Austin Ekeler, Justin Jackson give Chargers 1-2 punch in backfield that would seem to make Melvin Gordon expendable.The Chargers were unable to stop Indianapolis for much of the second half and, most notably, in the final stages of the fourth quarter. A lot of the damage done by the Colts came on the ground as they gained 203 yards on 33 attempts, an average of 6.2 yards.
“We’ve got to stop the run,” Lynn said. “In the first half, we did a good job with that. We knew coming in -- they have said they want to be a top-five rushing team.” Marlon Mack had 174 yards on 25 carries. It is worth nothing that linebacker Denzel Perryman, one of the Chargers’ top run stoppers, did not play and is being eased back into action because of knee and ankle injuries.Rivers was sacked four times, but the offensive line did open enough holes for the running game to amass 125 yards on 21 carries, an average of six yards. Nine of the Chargers’ 25 first downs came on the ground.
