Ekeler registered 16 carries for 117 yards and one touchdown and hauled in four of five targets for 47 yards during Sunday's 36-34 loss versus the Dolphins.
Ekeler set the tone early Sunday, bursting through the line of scrimmage and flying for a 55-yard run late in the first quarter. He'd cap off that drive with a one-yard score and later would register a 35-yard reception that would set up another Chargers touchdown in the high-scoring affair. New offensive coordinator Kellen Moore was brought in to improve the rushing attack, and the offense certainly showed out in Week 1, combining for 234 total rushing yards including four carries of 10-plus yards. The veteran running back did see teammate Joshua Kelley match his 16 carries and produce 91 yards, but Ekeler's explosiveness was clearly on display throughout. However, it could be tricky to see a bevy of yards on the ground against a stout Titans defense next week.
