The Chargers are whipping the Cardinals today, but they may have suffered a loss.
Chargers running back Melvin Gordon has left the game with a knee injury. There’s no immediate word on the seriousness of it, but he and quarterback Philip Rivers both looked very unhappy about it.
The injury came on a trick play where Gordon was running across the field on a reverse, and it’s fair to ask whether the Chargers really should have run such a play with Gordon, who was less than 100 percent healthy, in a game they’re winning easily.
The score is currently Chargers 42, Cardinals 10 in the fourth quarter.
