Chargers’ offense, defense meet halfway in convincing win over Browns

LA Times  

Chargers cornerback Tarheeb Still is surrounded by teammates after intercepting a pass against the Cleveland Browns. The list of key contributors sent coach Jim Harbaugh on a winding news conference that reminisced about his childhood growing up in Ohio, celebrated cornerback Tarheeb Still’s “one and a half” interceptions and praised receiver Quentin Johnston’s career-best 118 yards receiving. After a two-game absence because of an ankle injury, Johnston recorded his first 100-yard receiving performance, catching four passes including a 66-yard touchdown that was the Chargers’ longest play from scrimmage this year. “That’s our whole emphasis and point of the offense, to be able to push the ball downfield and understand taking our shots and being smart with the ball.” The Chargers, who entered the game with the fifth-best turnover margin in the NFL, capitalized on mistakes from Browns quarterback Jameis Winston to force three takeaways. Chargers Chargers take Jim Harbaugh’s sometimes comical words very seriously Coach Jim Harbaugh sometimes shares expressions that have his Chargers raising eyebrows and seeking explanations, but his words of wisdom change perspectives.
