Detrez Newsome Excellent In Emergency Role
6 years agoFourth-string Los Angeles Chargers running back Detrez Newsome got the call that he was going to be playing in the team’s biggest game of the season on Thursday night, and he ran with it. As the coaches used the standard two-headed approach that they’ve used all season with the regular starters, Newsome got the ball six times and chugged along for 34 yards, including a couple huge runs as the team made their miraculous fourth-quarter comeback. He also caught a pair of passes for another 19 yards. It’s unlikely that Newsome will see the field again anytime soon, but he certainly did his part in LA’s huge win.
