"The Chargers play at the Miami Dolphins, who just lost to the Carolina Panthers and out-of-nowhere running back Rico Dowdle. He ran for 206 yards and was used so heavily that in the fourth quarter he had to leave the game temporarily because of cramping in both legs. He drank four jars of pickle juice before reentering, a hiatus that probably cost him the club's single-game rushing record."
"The Rams play at the Baltimore Ravens, coming off a 44-10 collapse to Houston. In a cruel twist, the Ravens are horrible on defense, typically Baltimore's strong suit, and not just because they had to replace five injured defensive starters with rookies last week. They were bad before that. And quarterback Lamar Jackson is injured, too, so journeyman backup Cooper Rush is starting in his place."
Both Los Angeles teams began 2-0 and now sit at 3-2, coming off home losses and seeking rebounds on the road against 1-4 opponents. The Chargers face a collapsed offensive line, injured running backs, and Justin Herbert taking the league's most quarterback hits, creating offensive instability. The Dolphins recently lost to the Panthers while Rico Dowdle rushed for 206 yards and briefly left with cramping after drinking pickle juice. The Rams suffered a 44-10 loss to Houston but lost earlier games by narrow margins; Baltimore's defense has struggled and Lamar Jackson is injured, leaving Cooper Rush to start.
