COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon has a simple solution to fix his slow start since returning to the field after an unsuccessful, two-month holdout.
More reps.
Gordon has totaled just 49 rushing yards on 20 attempts in his first two games of the 2019 season, averaging a paltry 2.45 yards per carry. It's the worst two-game rushing stretch of Gordon's five-year career
Gordon finished with eight rushes for 18 yards in a 24-17 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers this past Sunday.
"There's no rhythm you can get into with eight carries, I don't care what running back you are," Gordon said.
