Melvin Ingram v. Chiefs - 6 Tackles Russell Okung Jerseys Stitched , 3 SacksIn a game that became almost unwatchable by the fourth quarter, EDGE rusher Melvin Ingram did just about everything you could ask of him in the 24-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.Collecting quarterback pressures like it was Easter Sunday, Ingram was merciless and displayed a motor that was often too much to handle for right tackle Mitchell Schwartz as King Mel racked up a trifecta of sacks on quarterback Alex Smith.In the middle of the second quarter, on 2nd & 5 with the Chiefs just outside the Bolts’ redzone, Ingram came off the edge from a wide 9-technique. Looking initially like his normal speed rush, Ingram turned speed to power as he met Schwartz four yards back from the line of scrimmage. Smith, feeling the pressure, stepped up in the pocket to avoid pressure but Ingram stabbed through the inside shoulder of the tackle and met Smith in the middle of the scrum, bringing him down for a loss of two yards and his first take-down of the night.His second sack came on the last play of the third quarter with the Chargers still within one score. On a 3rd & 3 with the Chiefs around midfield Youth Russell Okung Jerseys , Ingram lined up in a two-point stance on the outside shoulder of the right guard with Joey Bosa to his left outside the tackle. At the snap, Bosa came like a wrecking-ball through the inside shoulder of the tackle, dragging him into the guard. With Bosa occupying both linemen, Ingram looped around the outside untouched to bring down Smith for a big loss of 11 yards.This sack was arguably the most important of the three as it ended their drive and gave the Chargers the ball back after the intermission down seven points.Finally, Ingram’s third sack came in the middle of the fourth quarter with the Chiefs attempting to run out the clock. Once again in a wide-9, Smith noticed the 1-on-1 matchup with Schwartz and decided to motion tight end Travis Kelce over to the right in order to give the tackle some help.Plot twist: It didn’t help.Even with Ingram almost falling over due to him timing the snap incorrectly, his get-off was still too fast for the athletic Kelce as Ingram simply ran the hoop around the tight end until he found Smith five yards deep in the pocket.The Chargers eventually went on to give up one more score and ceded their seventh-straight game to Andy Reid and the Chiefs. However, the fans still got to see prime-time Melvin in what amounted to be the most dominant performance by a Charger player from the 2017 season. After all they've been through, a two-touchdown deficit wasn't going to faze the Los Angeles Chargers."We've been rock-bottom Jerry Tillery Jersey Color Rush , so it's only up," running back Melvin Gordon said after the Chargers rallied for a 29-27 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday."We know how to respond when we go down.

It is the sixth 100-yard rushing game of Gordon's career and his first since last Oct. 29 against New England."He ran outstanding.

The last interception came with 2:38 remaining when Isaac Rochell picked off a pass intended for Alfred Morris at the Niners 19. The Chargers then ran out the clock."I thought he played well," Niners coach Kyle Shanahan said. "He played very tough. Made some great plays, especially in some of the situations. With a lot of guys going in and out, he handled a lot of adversity well and a little chaos due to injuries."Beathard's first TD toss of 2 yards to Kendrick Bourne gave the Niners a 14-0 lead with 3:53 remaining in the first quarter. His 82-yarder to George Kittle with 2:50 remaining in the third quarter helped end of run where they had three three-and-outs and an interception."It felt a lot more comfortable being out there and being in control.
