The Chargers feature a new play-caller this season in offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, and the projections expect their pass/run mix to lean 2.7% more towards rushing than it did last season (adjusted for context).The Chargers are an enormous 8.5-point favorite this week, likely leading to an extreme rushing game script.Right now, the 2nd-quickest paced team in the NFL (in a neutral context) according to the projections is the Chargers.This week, Justin Herbert is predicted by the projection model to notch the 7th-most carries among all quarterbacks with 4.5. Comprising 14.1% of his offense's carries this year (75th percentile when it comes to quarterbacks), Justin Herbert's mobility marks him as a major threat in Los Angeles's rushing attack.
