The Chargers are one of the pass-heaviest teams in the NFL, but that’s not what hurt the Rams in Sunday’s 31-10 loss. It was the Chargers’ running game that wore the Rams down and was the difference in the game.
The Rams, who had been excellent against the run this year, allowed a season-high 192 yards on the ground to the Chargers, including their first 100-yard rusher, Austin Ekeler. It doesn’t help that they gave up a 72-yard touchdown run to Ekeler, but the Chargers had very little trouble running it.
