Despite rather unimpressive numbers in Week 3 at Buffalo, the Chargers have faith in Brown and plan to feature him as the primary back on Sunday against the Jaguars, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Despite rather unimpressive numbers in Week 3 at Buffalo, the Chargers have faith in Brown and plan to feature him as the primary back on Sunday against the Jaguars, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis:

The running game has been largely ineffective thus far this year with injuries to both Ryan Mathews (out for the next three to four weeks) and Danny Woodhead (season-ending IR), but San Diego believes Brown is capable of shouldering the load for the next few weeks. Brown has experience in both third-down and hurry-up situations, so he figures to be pretty much an every down back with Branden Oliver only giving him breathers as needed. As for the fact that he's averaged only two yards per carry so far this season, Brown is keeping the faith. "You just have to stay patient and stay persistent with it," he said. "It's going to crack eventually."
