Eagles and Chargers Set for a High-Stakes Defensive Showdown That Could Change the Season’s Outcome
The Chargers have an identical record to Philadelphia at 8-4. They certainly came into the season with significantly lower expectations than the Eagles, but they still were expected to be a potential playoff team. Their defense hasn’t been quite as good as last year, and their offense has shown a lot of inconsistency over the season. Defensively, the team is 13th against the run, which isn’t terrible, and I would still categorize them as one of the better teams in football. However, I do feel like there are some opportunities for the team to improve against the run. They are the second-best team against the pass this season. I have some concerns that part of their success has been due to their schedule. There isn’t really a single offensive threat, outside of maybe Kansas City in Week 1 when they were down receivers (and we’ve now seen they are terrible), that is a big offensive threat. The Eagles and Cowboys, who they play in two weeks, are the two best offenses they should face this season.Â
