the Chargers<\/span>‘ 20-3 victory over the colts<\/span> on Monday night was slightly marred by the ejection of star safety Derwin James<\/span>who was disqualified following a helmet-to-helmet hit on wide receiver Ashton Dulin<\/span> in the second quarter. In the aftermath, Los Angeles head coach Brandon Staley defended his star player, and blamed Indianapolis for putting Dulin in a precarious position.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a play where they obviously laid the guy out in a tough position, which is their fault, not ours, and Derwin made an aggressive play,\u201d Staley said, per Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star<\/em>. \u201cI’ve seen him make a lot of tackles on plays just like that, and I know that his target was not above the neck. I know that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Staley said he believed that James \u201ctried to lead with the shoulder\u201d on the play, which left both players shaken up.<\/p>\n
