The Chargers defense has regressed to the mean once again, allowing the Detroit Lions to almost match their season-high point total of 42. The team that allowed them to score that many points was none other than the last-placed team in the league, the Carolina Panthers.
The silver lining was the offense returning back to life, which begs the question: when will we see this team operate as a cohesive unit, playing complimentary football and winning in all three phases against teams with winning records?
The offense played inspired, but of the ten drives before the game-winning Lions’ field goal, all but one ended in a touchdown!
