  • Spurlock returned four punts for 107 yards, including a 63-yard punt-return touchdown in the Chargers’ 27-17 win at the New York Jets. Spurlock also added four kickoff returns for 66 yards (16.5 average) and one special teams tackle.
  • His 173 total KR yards were the most in the NFL in Week 16
  • Spurlock’s PR-TD was the first by a Charger since Darren Sproles in 2009.
