Chargers on Sunday afternoon, Head Coach Sean Payton dialed up a play based on tendencies the Broncos found in the Chargers' playoff loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last season. Keying off a play in which the Jaguars gave the ball to running back Travis Etienne for an outside run, the Broncos lined up in the same formation and appeared to run back the same play with running back Javonte Williams.
After appearing to initiate the outside run, quarterback Russell Wilson fooled Chargers defenders — and even his own teammates. Wilson kept the ball, rolled back toward the left side of the field, faked a quarterback keeper and flicked a pass to tight end Adam Trautman, who was standing wide-open in the end zone for an easy 10-yard touchdown completion.
SoFi Stadium after the Associated Press reported that he had an elevated heart rate at halftime.
On Monday during a news conference Broncos head coach Sean Payton said Meinerz "is healthy and going to be fine."
Luke Wattenberg filled in at guard for Denver after Meinerz left the game.
"We feel like we've got a really strong developmental group of offensive linemen and they're smart and they're tough and they've got the traits that we're looking for. (Wattenberg) has done a good job and I thought he played well coming in in a moment like that," Payton said. "So I'm pleased with our depth there."
Keenan Allen led the group in snaps with 65 and finished the game with six receptions for 68 yards, breaking the Chargers all-time record for receptions in a season (108). Rookie Quentin Johnston played 60 offensive snaps and had the highest number of yards in a game so far with 91 on three receptions. Alex Erickson played 45 snaps, his highest number since joining the team, while Jalen Guyton finished with 22.
Running back Austin Ekeler led the group with 49 offensive snaps Sunday, going for 100 yards for scrimmage and a rushing touchdown. Isaiah Spiller got action for the first time since Week 8, playing 12 snaps and Joshua Kelley rounded out the group with seven snaps.
Gerald Everett led the tight end group with 46 snaps, adding five catches for 39 yards in Week 14. Nick Vannett and Donald Parham, Jr., played 15 snaps each, while Stephan Anderson, who was elevated from the practice squad, played two.
Ja’Quan McMillian again stuffed the stat sheet, as he posted a sack, pass defense, two tackle for loss and two quarterback hits. He also nearly had a strip-sack and fumble recovery for a touchdown, but it was overturned upon replay review.
