Chargers' Melvin Ingram playing at elite level, 2nd in NFL in sacks

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Some league observers questioned Los Angeles Chargers' decision-makers when the team chose to sign edge rusher Melvin Ingram to a four-year, $64 million contract extension after placing the franchise tag on him in March.

Well, early on Ingram is proving doubters wrong, as he's second in the NFL in sacks through three games with 5.5.

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence leads the league with 6.5 sacks after totaling three in a win against the Arizona Cardinals on "Monday Night Football".
