Slash and dash: Chargers RB duo of Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Chargers have work to do after some head-scratching mistakes on offense over the weekend -- including four drops, two of which would have been scores --- but one thing that clicked for the Bolts was the running back tandem of Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler.

The two combined for 292 yards from scrimmage in a disappointing, 38-28 loss the Kansas City Chiefs in the season opener at the StubHub Center on Sunday.

Gordon finished with career-high 102 receiving yards, the first time he eclipsed 100 yards receiving in his four-year NFL career.
