Chargers News: Star Safety Praises “Complementary Football” In Win Over Bears
Your Los Angeles Chargers came away with a critical 30-13 win against the Chicago Bears in a Sunday Night Football broadcast this past weekend.
In what seemed like a breath of fresh air for the entire team, every unit was hitting on all cylinders. The defense forced two turnovers, the offense scored three touchdowns, and the special teams unit converted three field goals.
"That's what I'm talking about … complementary football," said Derwin James, Jr. "That's the kind of football we want to play."
The Bolts came into Sunday with a shaky 2-4 record and if they wanted any hope for their season, a big win was needed and the team delivered.
Head coach, Brandon Staley, added that he was impressed by the teams and thinks they won every matchup during the game.
"We've been in search for a game like this. I felt like our guys really earned it in all three phases. From the first practice of the week to the last whistle, I thought that our guys really played together and played the right way that gets you a win like that."
Justin Herbert seemed to correct his path throwing for 298 yards and 3 touchdowns while making sure to feature the stars in the offense with Ekeler having over 100 total yards and a score and Keen Allen with 8 catches for 69 yards.
The defense came together as a unit intercepting rookie Tyson Bagent twice and keeping energy all game long.
The Chargers are slated to have a tough defense and passionate offense next week as they will head to New York to take on the Jets who just won a crazy overtime thriller.
If the Bolts want to turn this win into a streak they will need to win all three phases of the game once again.
