Coach Talk

The Blues
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to great performances by Christian McCaffrey and Ezekiel Elliott, our squad certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We thoroughly outplayed Darnold’s fivehead at the running back spot (49.4 points to 9.8). McCaffrey had 191 yards from scrimmage while Elliott logged 73 yards and two scores.
Darnold’s fivehead
Our starting QB tossed four interceptions and just one touchdown? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape. Were the Chiefs truly that stout against the pass, or was Philip Rivers just that off-rhythm with his receiving crew? This judgment is yours to make... Darnold’s fivehead. The Chargers have a bye next week, so luckily you've got some extra time to think on that one!
