Offensively, the Chargers have been above average and have improved drastically since last season. After losing Keenan Allen, Stevie Johnson, and Danny Woodhead, the team answered the call and has still moved the ball effectively, even without these bigger names. Two players who have not only improved but have gone beyond expectations are wide receiver Tyrell Williams and running back Melvin Gordon.
Hunter Henry has reeled in three touchdowns along with 340 yards on 22 catches, making himself a trusted target for Philip Rivers to throw to. Learning from Antonio Gates, who just scored his 107th touchdown Sunday, has no doubt been helpful and having two great tight ends makes Rivers an even more dangerous ball slinger.
