Brandon Staley and Justin Herbert will make their first playoff appearances after Chargers clinch a berth with 20-3 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Always viewed as undersized and underestimated, Austin Ekeler went from hidden star in rural Colorado to a growing star running back with the Chargers.The Chargers’ defense stood out for the third consecutive game, holding the Colts to just a field goal. It was the first time since Nov. 11, 2018, that the Chargers didn’t allow at least one touchdown.
Over the past four weeks, the Chargers have limited their opponents to nine of 42 on third down, the best mark in the NFL during that time. “[We] just have a unit that’s really connected out there,” Staley said, “a team that’s playing extremely hard, playing extremely disciplined.”Offensively, the Chargers weren’t at their best. They scored only two touchdowns against a team that had surrendered 93 points in its previous two games.
