The Los Angeles Chargers played a second road game in a row in week 5 taking on the Browns in Cleveland under a swarm of bugs called “midges.” It was a back and forth shootout that surprisingly featured a lot more successful running by both teams than passing.
Austin Ekeler wound up with a career day on the ground. He had 16 carries for 173 yards (a career high) and a touchdown on the ground, to go along with 4 catches for 26 yards and another TD as a receiver.
The game came down to an extremely questionable call on 4th down with under 2 minutes left by the Chargers.
