Justin Herbert and Keenan Allen knew just how to attack coordinator Brian Flores' Minnesota Vikings defense.
MINNEAPOLIS — Justin Herbert, Keenan Allen and the Los Angeles Chargers had seen a Brian Flores-coached defense before, flummoxed in 2020 by Flores’ blitz-heavy approach in a loss at Miami during Herbert’s rookie season.
“The first time we played them when Flores was in Miami, it was tough,” Allen said. “We didn’t know what to do. We were kind of mind-boggled out there. We didn’t know what we were looking at. They kind of fooled us. ... So, today, I think we had their number on every play.” “Just that chemistry with him and Justin,” Staley said. “He’s just so good at understanding leverage and attacking different coverages. Today, you need a guy like him that’s a security blanket for the quarterback when there’s that much pressure. He was just fantastic. ... It was one of those complete performances and part of Chargers history today.”
“A little atonement there for an incompletion,” Staley said. “Keenan really throws a good football, but we’ve been working on that play. I’m excited for Keenan because it really capped off one of those maestro performances for him.”
