The Chargers came into this season needing to be a much better team when it comes to running the football. They took another positive step forward on Friday night as they rushed for a whopping 267 yards against the 49ers en route to a 23-12 win in their preseason finale.
The offense was led by Joshua Kelley who tore off a 75-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. From there, the Chargers continued to run rampant over the Niners for the remainder of the game. In the second half, rookie quarterback Max Duggan even broke out the read option to finish with 51 yards rushing, good for second on the team.
