Chargers WR Joshua Palmer was ejected after a brawl with Raiders CB Jack Jones. Palmer had a poor stat line up through that point catching two of his four targets for only 15 yards, including dropping a potential TD. He was out-targeted by WRs Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey.
After the Chargers scored a TD with 3:40 left in the 4th quarter, Palmer and Jones began to brawl behind the end zone. This capped the disappointing day for Los Angeles' supposed number one WR.
Palmer was targeted four times, including in the end zone, but dropped the pass that was slightly behind him. As expected, the Chargers game plan centered around the run game and efficiency from QB Justin Herbert, including RB JK Dobbins having a big game.
Next week could be a bounce back for Palmer going up against a Panthers defense that got torched by Saints QB Derek Carr and his receivers in Week 1. If the plan surrounds the pass a bit more and lets Herbert rip it, Palmer could benefit from an increase in passing from the Chargers at large.
If Palmer puts up another poor performance, it may show he is less a part of the offensive game plan than expected.
