Maybe if the Chargers had the #1 offense in terms of yards and points (like the Cowboys did), their defense and run game would have benefited.
Are you aware that units affect each other in the sport of football?
Like when you’re the #1 scoring team, your defense benefits from the opponent constantly playing from behind?
Sorry that doesn’t fit your excuse narrative. Maybe in year 3 Herbert might make the playoffs - for the first time.
Ekeler had over 1,500 total yards and 20 TD in 16 games. Imagine thinking Zeke is on his level in 2021-22.
