The Los Angeles Chargers media team might have too much time on their hands.
In a video that was released last night, the team advertised Austin Ekeler to make it to the Pro Bowl, in a video that slightly resembled a political campaign.
Big NFL doesn’t want you to see this.

At age 27, Ekeler is having one of the best seasons of his six-year NFL career.
He has rushed for 634 yards and scored eight rushing touchdowns.
Besides his rushing totals, Ekeler has added 93 receptions totaling 623 yards, adding five touchdowns.
Ekeler is one of, if not the best receiving back in the NFL.
With just four games to go, Ekeler is 23 receptions away from breaking Christian McCaffrey’s 2019 record of 116 receptions, the most by a running back in NFL history.
Although Ekeler’s statistics look great on paper, he is also helping impact the Chargers in a big way as well.
The Success Of The 2022 Chargers
Currently, the Chargers have a 7-6 record, and they are three games behind the Kansas City Chiefs for the lead in the AFC West.
While their chances are slim of overtaking the Chiefs, the Chargers find themselves in a great position to live for a playoff spot, with Ekeler being one of their main offensive contributors.
If the season were to end today, the Chargers would make the playoffs.
With tough games ahead against the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts, the Chargers need to put their best foot forward if they want to make the playoffs this season.
With Ekeler and Justin Herbert leading their offense, they have a fighting chance to win their close games.
