“The offense was playing like it was supposed to. At one point, we scored 2 touchdowns in 8 plays. That was pretty good. I was happy that we came out and played tough early. We didn’t wait for the second half.”
Chapman said it was good to give the second-string team a chance to play in the second half.
“We played a bunch of second team guys. So they got to get a feel for the speed of the game. I was happy to get the younger guys out there to get some experience, and I’m sure they were happy to play. It was a big night. It was a good night for the Chargers.”
