The Chargers (4-3) are on the road this week to face the NFC South-leading Falcons (4-4). Both teams have managed to get to where they are this season by leaning into what they do best.
When it comes to the Chargers, they run through Justin Herbert and the passing game. For the Falcons, they’ve leaned heavily on the ground game, regardless of whether it’s Cordarrelle Patterson or another running back leading the backfield.
Coincidentally, the opposing defense for either team is weak to the other’s strength. The Chargers can’ stop the run and the Falcons cannot stop the pass, so it sounds like this matchup could come down to which side manages to break the mold.
