The past seven days were chalk-full of cautious optimism as the entire fan base waited with baited-breathe as the Chargers took on the Cleveland Browns in what could have been a trap game to the highest degree.
To our disbelief, the Chargers exploded for 38 points against a defense that was nothing to shake your finger according to the national media.
Offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt drew up his best gameplan to date as he manipulated the Browns’ best defensive players and exploited obvious mismatches from start to finish.
It obviously helped that the Browns were down a handful of their top receivers which, in turn, totally floundered any attempt to try and get the ground game going that ranked 5th in the NFL prior to Sunday.
