Defensive dominance

Link here Fans watching the Chargers’ 17-6 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday could’ve mistaken the Bolts for two different teams.

In the first half, the Chargers allowed 88 rushing yards—three yards more than their season average—despite the fact that Carolina was without their top three running backs. Stephen Davis, DeShaun Foster and Rod Smart were inactive due to injury.

The Bolts’ offense, on the other hand, held possession of the ball for only 9:09, managed just 80 yards of offense, had one turnover, six first downs and didn’t score in the first two quarters.
