The Chargers’ defense ranks among the worst in the league and the offense hasn’t capitalized on opportunities going into a road game vs. also winless Minnesota
Now it gets tougher. Now the winless Chargers must face the winless Minnesota Vikings on Sunday inside what’s certain to be a roiling cauldron of noise at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Can you smell the desperation? Can you sense the urgency? Can you imagine the tension? Can you feel the pressure?The Vikings also can’t afford a third consecutive defeat to start the season.On paper, the Chargers would seem to have all it takes to be consistent winners.
The Chargers’ inability to cut down on explosive plays was a bugaboo in 2022, something they addressed during the offseason and in training camp. An otherwise sound defense against the run against the Titans cracked on 70- and 49-yard pass plays that led to touchdowns, in the latest example.“Yes, because the secondary has been giving up big plays, explosive plays,” cornerback J.C. Jackson said.
While it’s true the Chargers’ defense hasn’t played up to expectations. It’s also true that the offense had chances to rally to defeat the Dolphins and the Titans in separate late-game opportunities. Against the Dolphins and Titans, quarterback Justin Herbert failed to deliver a game-winning touchdown.
