The AFC West has been dominated by the Chargers’ defense so far this season, but their offense showed signs of life in a recent game against the Denver Broncos. Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter has been instrumental in the team’s success, stepping in as head coach temporarily during a recent game. The Chargers, currently standing at 3-2, have been playing conservatively on offense, but broke out against the Broncos after struggling in the first four games. The defense, which has been a standout this season, has moved from 28th to the top spot in defensive EPA per play, although their success can be attributed to facing weaker offenses. However, their performance against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs was a significant achievement. The team has posted positive defensive EPA in all five games so far this season, marking their longest streak since 2000. Upcoming games against the Cardinals, Saints, Browns, and Titans will be a true test of their capabilities. Overall, the Chargers seem to be on an upward trajectory, with both their offense and defense showing promise.
