Melvin Gordon Will Need To Carry The Team
5 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon has played very well over the last three games, but he's going to need to find a way to get it done against the strong Denver defense if LA has a chance of winning Sunday's game. With Philip Rivers struggling badly in the team's last two games, don't be surprised if Denver keys on Gordon to be LA's most likely path to success. Denver's run defense is less intimidating than their pass defense, but LA has also shown that they're quick to abandon the run if they start trailing in a game. If the first drive or two can be successful for the Chargers, expect Gordon to carry the team. Unfortunately, that's not a likely scenario, so it's more likely that he puts up another dud due to lack of opportunities.
