CARSON, Calif — The Seahawks played their starters for most of the first half Saturday night.
The Los Angeles Chargers did not.
And that, as much as anything, explains why the Seahawks dominated the first half, leading 16-3 at the break and carrying a 225-151 edge in yards.
While Chargers’ starting quarterback Philip Rivers did not play a down, Russell Wilson played the first three series, leading the Seahawks to two touchdowns and one failed possession that ended in a punt.
But that wasn’t all we saw out of the Seahawks 23-15 win over the Chargers.
