It’s time to reevaluate the LA Chargers’ offensive approach and give more responsibility to Justin Herbert.

In the first three games this season, the LA Chargers averaged 151.7 rushing yards per game. With Austin Ekeler playing at a high level plus an OK offensive line, the run game was excelling.
