Chargers’ Brandon Staley relies on analytics for 4th-down calls, but play-calling must improve

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:38:22 GMT

Brandon Staley has his legion of critics when it comes to fourth-down calls, especially late in games.The third-year Los Angeles Chargers coach is at least consistent in his beliefs and trusts the math when he makes those decisions.“It’s your job as a head coach to make sure your team knows you have belief in them. I think we came here to win,” Staley said after Sunday’s 28-24 win at Minnesota. “It was a tough road game against a team that made the playoffs, so we were trying to go win the game, and I make no apologies for that.”It marked the second straight season in which the Chargers escaped with a road win after Staley’s decision to go for it on fourth down late in his own territory came up short.Joshua Kelley was stopped for no gain on fourth-and-1 from the LA 24-yard line with 1:47 remaining, giving Kirk Cousins and the Vikings offense a short field to attempt a game-winning drive despite having no timeouts.The Chargers held on when Kenneth Murray Jr. intercepted a...

The most notable missed opportunity was when cornerback Marcus Peters let a pick-6 slip through his hands in the first quarter with...
