Running back Austin Ekeler powered the Chargers to a 31-10 victory over the Rams. ⚡️
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — On a day when Austin Ekeler accomplished a receiving milestone, it was his running that paved the way for the Los Angeles Chargers to keep rolling toward the postseason.
“I think it's great for our offense. That’s the balanced attack that we’re going for,” said Justin Herbert, who completed 21 of 28 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns. “We think highly of our offensive line and running backs. To see that today, we’re not surprised by the success at all.” “We were running power. Everything was kicked out and was able to get through the corner," Ekeler said."I got caught earlier in the year, and so that’s the only thing that was on my mind was, ‘All right, speed, speed, speed. Don’t get caught,’ and was able to get in there.”
The Rams played well in the first half and trailed 17-10 at halftime. But they crossed midfield only once on their five second-half possessions.
