Head coach Brandon Staley and the Los Angeles Chargers received a late Christmas present on Monday night, while the Indianapolis Colts continued their skid under interim coach Jeff Saturday.
Playing without star safety Derwin James for most of the game , the Chargers defense shut down a listless Colts offense.
The Chargers had Colts quarterback Nick Foles under duress all night. Los Angeles front seven got the better of the Colts offensive line and the Chargers’ secondary made life difficult for the Indy pass catchers. Los Angeles' defense had a season-high seven sacks and forced three interceptions. The Chargers defense held the Colts offense to just 173 total yards.
Six different players registered sacks. The Chargers defense allowed zero touchdowns for the first time in a single game since 2018.Ekeler scored two touchdowns in the win, giving him an NFL-best 16 touchdowns from scrimmage this season. Both of Ekeler’s touchdowns came on short yardage runs.Allen was once again Los Angeles’ most consistent target. He compiled a game-high 11 catches and 104 yards in the win. He was targeted 14 times by Herbert.
Herbert is the first player in NFL history to pass for 4,000 yards in each of his first three seasons. He only passed for 235 yards and threw an interception in the win, but earned the first playoff berth of his career.Creating positive momentum is paramount this time of year for playoff teams. The Chargers are on a three-game winning streak. Los Angeles closes out the season against two teams below .500 . The Colts offensive line was atrocious in the loss, allowing seven sacks.
