As we head towards the first quarter pole of the 2015 season, the San Diego Chargers have far and away the worst pass-rushing defense in the NFL. Rookie outside linebacker Kyle Emanuel recorded the team’s lone sack, and that came in the season-opener against the Detroit Lions.
This isn’t a major headline, as this has been a constant since the day Leslie O’Neal retired. The same script has been written over and over again every summer, as a furious pass rush shows up in preseason, then suddenly disappears once the regular season begins. Inside the Q, the frustration level is at an all-time high.
