As the Los Angeles Chargers' season has progressed, the rapid ascendance of Quentin Johnston, coupled with the relative lack of production from second-year receiver Ladd McConkey, has left quite a few people around the league surprised.
Yet, as McConkey rebounded against the Miami Dolphins in Week 6 with Quentin Johnston sitting out of the ball game, he reasserted his role as the team's top receiver, reaffirming what Chargers fans knew all along even as fans around the league doubted McConkey's efficacy as a receiver.
While, through the first five games of the season, McConkey had been relatively inconsistent in his production, a massive day, and a victory for Los Angeles, should be enough to get his season back on track.
