A potential glimpse of the future?

With the Chargers up big in the fourth quarter, there became no use for the starters anymore. That is when quarterback Tyrod Taylor made his presence known under center, drawing a lot of people’s attention given the fact that him and Rivers have two different styles.

The play-calling was clearly different as the team utilized his mobility where he ran the ball four times, including a pistol option play, which resulted in nine yards on the ground. On that same drive, he found tight end Virgil Green in the end zone.

It’s unclear what the plans at the position are for Los Angeles after the season, but an option is having Taylor as the team’s starter if they elect to move on from Rivers. If they do, the offense would shift to Taylor’s strengths, which is what we saw from the small sample size yesterday.
