Chargers featured back Ryan Mathews averaged more than four YPC in each of the last five games heading into the Sunday clash in Miami. But he really outdid himself against the Dolphins.
Mathews averaged 6.7 yards in the defeat, churning up 127 yards on 19 carries for the second-most productive game of his career and best since a 137-yard effort against Denver in November 2011. He added four catches for 52 yards - not bad considering he had just one reception in the previous five games combined.
He wasted no time making his mark, rushing four times for 24 yards and snagging two passes on the team's first six offensive plays. His 51-yard jaunt in the third quarter was the longest of his career.
Mathews and his Chargers play at Kansas City in Week 12.
