I totally understand and agree that Mathews is the most talented and starting rb on the Chargers but why did Battle lose carries and playing time to Brown? Even with the game close and the Chargers not only in pass only mode, they still went with Brown. Below are both Battle and Brown's numbers on the year. I am just curious as to why Brown was in over Battle? Any homers with some inside info? Thanks so much.
Brown: 11/40 yards (3.6 ypc)...17/17 for 149 yds (8.8 a rec)
Battle: 36/173 yards (4.8 ypc) and 3 tds...6/6 for 49 yds (8.2 a rec) and 1 td
