Pros

- Austin Ekeler has grinded out 58.0 yards per game on the ground this year, one of the highest marks in the NFL among running backs (80th percentile).
Cons
- THE BLITZ projects the Los Angeles Chargers as the 4th-least run-heavy offense among all teams this week with a 37.1% run rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- The Los Angeles Chargers O-line grades out as the 5th-worst in the NFL this year at opening holes for runners.
- The Jacksonville Jaguars defense owns the 6th-best efficiency against opposing rushing attacks this year, giving up just 4.29 yards-per-carry.
- The Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackles rank as the 2nd-best collection of DTs in the NFL this year when it comes to run defense.
- The Los Angeles Chargers have gone up against a stacked the box on 18.4% of their plays since the start of last season, 5th-most in the NFL. Bringing an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
