The Chargers and Lions delivered a thrilling shootout at SoFi Stadium on Sunday. But we shouldn’t be surprised about that with Brandon Staley and Dan Campbell being two of the most aggressive coaches on fourth down.
It also helped that there wasn’t much defense played between Detroit and Los Angeles. Lions running backs David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs each had monster performances to hold off the Chargers, 41–38.
The matchup between the 49ers and Jaguars wasn’t as exciting as the high-scoring game in L.A., but there was a notable debut for San Francisco. It was very telling that the 49ers decided to add reinforcements to the defensive side despite having a subpar offense during a three-game losing streak. It appears that general manager John Lynch made the right call after Chase Young made an immediate impact in the 49ers’ win against the Jaguars to snap the losing skid.
