Have you ever seen the movie Edge of Tomorrow?
It’s a science fiction film, a good one at that, which stars Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. Cruise’s character becomes stuck in a time loop; every time he dies, he wakes up and starts his day all over again in hopes of ending an alien invasion. Cruise’s character fails a lot, trying over and over to figure out a way to save the human race. Without spoiling much, he ultimately succeeds.
Why am I telling you this unnecessary but fun reference? Because watching Cruise’s failed attempts remind me of the Chargers’ defense trying so hard to stop the run but failing over and over and over again.
