Although Greg Roman has established himself as a run game expert, the Chargers offensive coordinator’s ground assault has become sluggish.
With 112.9 running yards per game and 4.1 yards per carry, the Chargers are ranked 18th and 22nd in the NFL, respectively. The Chargers (8-5) are attempting to regain their ground assault in time for Sunday’s prime-time game against the Kansas City Chiefs after only managing 56 yards of running against the Atlanta Falcons.
“We need to run the ball more effectively,” Roman stated. This week, everyone is devoted. The Chiefs’ 60-time comeback is unbeatable.
With an average of 87.8 yards per game, the Chiefs (11-1) are third in the NFL against the run.The Chargers have run for fewer than 100 yards in back-to-back games, including 83 yards against the NFL’s second-ranked rushing defense, the Baltimore Ravens.
Due to Ladd McConkey’s hip and shoulder problems, the Chargers’ restricted passing approach may be without their best receiver if the running game is revived. With 58 receptions and 815 receiving yards, the rookie leads the Chargers. He has contributed 52.7% of the Chargers’ receiving yards over the past three weeks, including 117 yards last week.
With a victory on Sunday, the two-time defending Super Bowl winners, who have defeated the Chargers six straight times, can win the AFC West for the seventh time in a row. This season, including their opening contest against the Chargers, the Chiefs have won nine games by a single possession.
