Gordon carried the ball 14 times for 57 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.
Last year's first-round pick topped 57 yards rushing just twice last year with six fumbles and not a touchdown to show for his efforts. Gordon started off 2016 right and will likely be asked to be a more focal part of the offense should top target Keenan Allen miss the remainder of the season. In addition to San Diego leaning more on the run, Gordon and fellow back Danny Woodhead will also likely be asked to contribute as receivers - something Gordon showed flashes of being able to do in 2015.
