As the Los Angeles Chargers fell to the New York Giants, 21-18, in their Week 4 matchup, there were a number of problems that sprung up across the roster, most notably the team's rapidly weakening offensive line.
Yet, a problem hidden behind rookie running back Omarion Hampton's 128-yard breakout game was their continued refusal to utilize the run game to its full potential: a confusing standpoint that directly led to a stagnated offense against New York.
Although Justin Herbert played relatively well, the rest of the team's offense and a variety of penalties held them back, and, despite the struggling offensive line, the team could have leaned on Hampton more to keep their offensive momentum alive.
