bye

They are at the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, then face the Atlanta Falcons in Germany, followed by their bye week - although it is not like they have anyone who is not healthy.

Gadsden had his first opportunity to relax during the mini bye week in the 10-day gap between the Chargers’ win over the Vikings and their game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

And that will, at the very least, require presenting a much better product than before the bye, when USC’s defense gave up over 300 yards on the ground to Notre Dame.

“Never a good time to be injured,” Nacua said, “but the bye did land at a great time to rest and recover.”

A season later, USC is once again searching for answers coming out of its second bye, with Nebraska looming in November.
