Chargers’ D.J. Fluker Bodyslams Raiders Defender (GIF)
By Jack Crosby
Not much has gone very well tonight for the San Diego Chargers. They’re getting thoroughly outplayed so far by the Oakland Raiders on the road and, down 24-17 in the fourth quarter, are dangerously close to falling to 2-3 on the season.
With a showing like they’re having tonight, frustrations are going to be running high, and rightfully so for the men with the lightning bolts on their helmets.
This was no more evident than what rookie OL D.J. Fluker displayed just a short time ago.
While dropping to pass block on a play, Fluker took on the rush from a Raiders defender and then proceeded to take his own frustration out on him by trying to bury him underneath the turf:
Fluker was called for a 15-yard penalty on the play, which may have been the most hilarious part of all of this as the referee verbally cited the fact that Fluker performed a “bodyslam” on the defender.
