In my previous article, I broke down what went wrong for the Saints rushing attack. Its not fair to pick only on poor offensive phase of the game though and after watching the Monday Night Football game this week I decided to break down the San Diego Charger’s pass defense. The Chargers at first glance look like they have at least an average pass defense as they are 17th in yards per game allowed versus the pass (249.2). But this is likely due to teams attacking a rush defense that is one of the worst in the league as every other passing defense stat is in the bottom half in the league. They have allowed a 65.1 completion % (21st), 8.3 Y/A (29th), 102.3 Passer Rating (28th), and 16 TDs (T-21st) throughout the season and these struggles continued against the Bears. The Bears are not a prolific passing attack as they only average 237.4 yards per game (21st) on 6.9 Y/A (24th) so this is even more worrying for the Chargers. This film breakdown will look into why the Chargers struggled so much against the Bears and what areas need to be improved if the Chargers are going to turn in around.… Article continues here
