## Resource

The Chargers pass rush struggled mightily in their opener, generating pressure on just 25% of plays and ranking dead last in the NFL—especially when not blitzing. Timing was the culprit: quarterbacks escaped quickly while Chargers’ rushers lagged behind. Even their top defenders delivered minimal impact. With minimal blitzes and poor pocket disruption, the defense failed to generate stops. Against a QB who holds the ball longer next time, the Chargers must innovate—using stunts, disguised coverages, and tighter lines to force hesitation and create pressure.
