The Facts:
Yet again, the Chargers trailing early took away chances for Mathews. In Norv Turner’s estimation, Mathews isn’t ready for crunch time, and Darren Sproles is. That’s why Mathews watched from the sideline the entire second half, finishing with the eight carries for 15 yards he had at halftime. Sproles, meanwhile, caught six passes for 53 yards in the game’s final six minutes.
