The Chargers might be playing their best defense of the season as they prepare to face a quarterback who has not thrown a pass all season or made a start since Dec. 26, 2021.
They're still trying to run first, still relying on a stout defense and still trying to win games despite their ever-changing circumstances.
INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - DECEMBER 18: Justin Herbert #10 of the Los Angeles Chargers calls a play during a 17-14 win over the Tennessee Titans at SoFi Stadium on December 18, 2022 in Inglewood, California.The Chargers , meanwhile, have climbed to sixth in the AFC standings and are closing in on their first postseason appearance since 2018 and second since 2014. By Monday night, they'll know if they can clinch a spot with a win or if they must wait another week.
"I feel like you have to be able to match up with a lot of different styles in the league," coach Brandon Staley said."Miami and Tennessee could not be more different, but your defense has to be able to change and still perform at a high level. I think I've been able to see more of that."Saturday hasn't decided how he'll split carries between Deon Jackson, Zack Moss and Jordan Wilkins or if there will be any significant changes with Foles running the show.
"We have to get the explosions, stay away from negative plays and score in the red zone," Staley said."That is the formula. Our guys have to really attack with that mindset."Indy has lost four straight since Saturday won his coaching debut and the reason is no mystery — its inability to finish.
