Did the Chargers stop on Brandon Staley?
That is the one rationalization for the crew’s pathetic first-half efficiency on Thursday evening in opposition to the Las Vegas Raiders.
After Las Vegas was held scoreless in a 3-0 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14, it simply marched down the sector in opposition to Staley’s protection on its opening drive, scoring a landing for a 7-0 lead.
The wheels fell off for the Chargers from there, with Malcolm Koonce forcing a fumble which was recovered by 2023 first-round decide Tyree Wilson on a sack of quarterback Easton Stick throughout Los Angeles’ ensuing place.
