Chargers vs Saints: Ryan Mathews leaps into the end zone to extend San Diego’s lead
The Chargers are leading the Saints thanks to a Ryan Mathews touchdown.
Of course, he didn't just run in the end zone -- he added some flair to his 14-yard touchdown scramble. After picking off Drew Brees, the Chargers got the ball at the Saints' 25-yard line. Two plays later, Mathews took it around the left end for the score. On the way to the end zone, he leaped over a diving Saints defender and crash-landed in the end zone.
