As we’ve been doing for several years now, we’ll break down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opponent each week, telling you what to expect from a scheme and individual standpoint. This year, Jonathan Heitritter and I will cover the opposing team’s defense. I will focus on the scheme, Jonathan on the players.
Today, scouting the Los Angeles Chargers’ defense.
ALEX’S SCHEME REPORT
Chargers Run Defense
Through two games, the Chargers’ run defense has ranked highly. They’re allowing just 80.5 rushing yards per game and are just outside the top 10 in YPC allowed at 4.0. They’ve also yet to allow a rushing touchdown on the season in Weeks 1 and 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders and Carolina Panthers.
