Dru Tranquill, LB – STUD

Have a day Dru Tranquill! The 4th- year pro out of Notre Dame was all over the place for the Chargers Monday night, finishing with 11 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 QB hit. Tranquill was constantly flying around the field whether it be slowing down the run game (Colts rushed for only 69 total yards as a team) or putting the pressure on Backup QB Nick Foles, Tranquill let his presence be felt. The young Chargers stud has now collected 21 tackles and 2 sacks in his past two games and is currently 10th in the league in tackles with 82.

The Chargers DBs – STUDS

Here to spoil Nick Foles’ first start this season, the Chargers’ secondary played absolutely lights-out football. The starting trio of Asante Samuel Jr., Michael Davis, and Derwin James all registered an interception each and helped limit Foles to just 143 yards through the air on the night. After losing J.C Jackson earlier this season, this Chargers secondary proved tonight just how dangerous they can still be.
