Melvin Gordon had three carries in the first quarter for the Denver Broncos on Monday night and then was taken out of the game for undisclosed reasons.

The running back told NFL Network after the game that no one on the Broncos' coaching staff explained to him why he was benched.

"To tell you exactly what happened? I can't tell you. Because I don't know," Gordon said. "Na, no one mentioned anything to me."

Gordon felt he could have helped the Broncos, who lost to the Los Angeles Chargers in overtime.

"Just waiting for my number to get called so I can go out there and help my teammates. It was a close game, I felt like I could've made a difference, but apparently not," he said.
