On one hand, there is a valid point to this argument. Rivers was definitely less than stellar on Sunday, completing 32-of-48 passes (66.67%), for 211 yards passing, no touchdowns, two interceptions, negative three yards rushing. These numbers only tell part of the story.
Melvin Gordon did not have the return that he envisioned either, gaining 31 yards on 12 carries, catching four passes on six targets for seven yards, no touchdowns, not even one first down.
Austin Ekeler did not fare any better on the ground gaining only seven yards on three carries.
