INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Suzanne Ekeler is late. The game between the Los Angeles Chargers and New York Giants is still an hour away but she got caught up in the SoFi Stadium parking lot talking to other parents of players and, well, one thing led to another and "you know."
Ekeler, the mother of Chargers dynamo running back Austin Ekeler, rushes to get to her seat almost as fast as her son does on the field. She moves up a section from where she was originally seated because too many people at her field-level seats were in the way of the game, which she watches with unabashed passion and pride.
