Brandon Staley told reporters at Arrowhead Stadium a week ago that his Los Angeles Chargers needed to "reset as a football team." The Chargers have dropped two straight games, the most recent of which was a lackluster showing against their big-brother Kansas City Chiefs. They needed an answer or else the 2023 season will be ruined. For the long haul. To various people in the company, this "reset" signified different things. Derrick Ansley, the defensive coordinator, used arguably the most unusual method. According to players, Ansley pushed his squad at a defensive meeting early in the week by displaying films of great NFL defenses from the past, most notably the 2018 Chicago Bears, celebrating together, as a team.

"We ain't having enough fun," Ansley According to cornerback Ja'Sir Taylor, stated during the meeting.

The meeting's participants had a united reply. "Everybody was up for it," cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. said. Taylor stated that the Chargers organized a celebration committee this week that includes players from every position group. The committee devised three synchronized routines for team celebrations following turnovers. And, according to safety Derwin James Jr., the defense "ran out" of reasons to celebrate after hammering the Bears 30-13 on Sunday night.

"Credit DA," Ansley remarked. "He came in early in the week and said, 'Hey, let's add this, let's get back to having fun.'" It provided a huge boost for our defense." According to cornerback Ja'Sir Taylor, stated during the meeting.

"Credit DA," Ansley remarked. "He came in early in the week and said, 'Hey, let's add this, let's get back to having fun.'" It provided a huge boost for our defense." To help create a 24-7 halftime lead, the Chargers scored on all four of their first-half drives, including three touchdowns.

Justin Herbert completed 31 of 40 ball attempts for 298 yards and three touchdowns, appearing more composed and in charge than he has since breaking his left middle finger in Week 4. Austin Ekeler, the running back, was a force in the passing game again, catching seven passes for 94 yards and a touchdown one week after receiving just one target at Kansas City.

"A win like that is huge," Herbert remarked.

In the second half, the offense stalled, scoring only six points. After the game, Staley acknowledged that the second-half slumps are becoming a problem for coordinator Kellen Moore's team. unit. Despite this, the Chargers won easily because to their defense.

"We went out there and did what we're supposed to do," said Taylor.

And the defense's performance began with Ansley's meeting earlier in the week.

Ansley, who was elevated to defensive coordinator in the winter, displayed footage of edge rusher Khalil Mack celebrating with that Bears defense from last season. Sebastian Joseph-Day, a Chargers defensive lineman, claimed he and his colleagues were laughing in the meeting when they spotted Mack celebrating.

"You know who I'm talking about, K-Mack," Joseph-Day added. "He's very reserved."

The message behind the celebratory films struck a chord with the players.

"Obviously, we needed to play better," defensive lineman Morgan Fox explained. "We were aware that we needed to create more plays. But we're still in a game. It's a money game. Have a good time. Have fun while you're at it. When you play, celebrate each other, appreciate each other, have fun, and go enjoy it since it won't last forever. … Guys simply bought into it and said, "Hey, we have a really good team, we make a lot of plays, let's celebrate and enjoy it because that energy is contagious." This extends to the offense and special teams. From then, perhaps, a snowball effect will occur. "We know where we have to go. We are aware of the problem. But the last thing you want is for everyone to become tense and withdraw into themselves. So having a reminder to have fun, enjoy the game, and simply enjoy being out there with each other reset everyone and carried over into tonight."

"It would have been easy for him to (be a) hard ass and start just MFing everyone," Joseph-Day said of Ansley. But he moved us in a direction that I don't believe anyone was expecting. And it really, truly helped. That was probably part of the reset."

The first turnover occurred early in the second quarter on Sunday night. Bagent missed an out. DJ Moore of the Chicago Bears was targeted on this route. The soaring throw soared into Taylor's waiting arms.

Taylor dashed to the far end zone with his defense colleagues after the pick. As Taylor danced with the ball in the middle, the gang swarmed around her and hopped up and down.

"Every time we get the ball, that's what we're thinking: Let's celebrate," Samuel went on to say. The Chargers converted Taylor's interception into a field goal.

"That was complementary football," stated James.

After a fourth-and-1 run stop in the fourth quarter, the Chargers celebrated as a team. Joey Bosa and Joseph-Day, both edge rushers, shed blocks and closed on the ball carrier, rookie running back Roschon Johnson.

After the next Bears possession, the Chargers celebrated once again. Samuel converted a fourth-and-2 on a return route from running back Darrynton Evans. Initially declared an interception, Samuel sprinted to the near end zone after a short return. He needed a little pep talk from safety Alohi Gilman, who returned from a heel ailment to start his first game since Week 3. Samuel was followed by teammates, and the Chargers formed a type of conga line. "It was still a little uncoordinated," Taylor laughed.

The Chargers had used up all three of their scheduled celebrations at this time. But James had a sense there will be another turnover.

"Bro, I got one more pick," James told his defensive colleagues on the bench. "I need a celebration."

The Bears faced a fourth-and-3 from the Chargers' 31-yard line on their next drive. Bagent attempted an in-breaking route across the middle to receiver Darnell Mooney. Gilman was playing over the top and tricked Bagent into throwing. Gilman drove on Mooney as the quarterback delivered the ball, striking the receiver just as the throw came. The deflected pass was intercepted by James. His reappearance prompted him to leave.
