Gashed on the ground last weekend
Denver’s defense had allowed an average of just 68.0 rushing yards in their previous six games. But last Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, they allowed a whopping 244 yards.
“Yeah, it wasn’t very good today. They blocked us good, their backs ran hard and I’m sure some of our fits were off a little bit,” Fangio said of the Bills’ rushing attack.
Facing a passing defense that ranks No. 5 in the NFL, the Chargers may want to resort to a solid group game with running backs Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler to keep them off their feet as they’re still trying to get up from that poor performance in Week 12.
