The 2019 LA Chargers struggled as a rushing team through the season but most of it was condensed in the first half of the year. From game 1 to game 8, the Chargers ranked 28th in rushing yards at 160 carries for 556 yards, 3.48 yards per carry. Much of that was condensed in a four game stretch in which LA had 63 rush attempts for only 142 yards, averaging 2.25 yards per carry and under 40 yards per game.
And yet the Chargers lost the first of those three games by only seven points, seven points, and three points.
