The Chargers dropped to 3-1 and will look to get back on track Sunday against the Washington Commanders.

Here are three key Chargers stats ahead of Week 5:

1. Hampton's beastly run

Omarion Hampton had a career performance in Week 4 as he ran for 128 yards and a score on 12 carries.

In fact, Hampton's 54-yard touchdown run was the longest rushing touchdown by a rookie in franchise history

But it was his powerful run on third-and-1 early in the third quarter that turned heads.

The Chargers rookie running back was initially hit behind the line of scrimmage but then muscled his way for an 18-yard gain with an incredible solo effort.

According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Hampton picked up 19.4 extra yards after contact on the run, which was the highlight of a breakout game for the Bolts 2025 first-round pick.

Hampton currently ranks 12th in the NFL with 270 rushing yards.

2. Tuli's sack production

Tuli Tuipulotu was on a roll Sunday as he finished the game with career-highs in tackles (nine), solo tackles (six), tackles for loss (five) and sacks (4.0).

His 4.0 sacks tied for the third most in a single game by a Chargers player since sacks became a statistic in 1982.

Tuipulotu was dominant in the first half as he posted 3.0 sacks, which were the most by a Chargers player in the first half since 2000.

Tuipulotu, who didn't have a sack before Week 4, is suddenly tied for the third-most sacks in the NFL this season.

3. Allen on cusp of 1K

Be in your seats early Sunday if you're coming to SoFi Stadium.

With Keenan Allen needing just two catches to reach 1,000 for his career, there's a chance the Chargers wide receiver gets it on the Bolts first offensive possession.

If (or when) Allen does hit the mark, he'll become the 16th player to reach 1,000 career receptions.

But if he gets it Sunday, he'll also be the fastest player in NFL history to do so in just 159 career games.
