Run stoppers

Full Story HereWhen defensive coordinator Wade Phillips arrived this offseason, he implemented a 3-4 scheme, which is generally a tougher defense to run against than the 4-3 alignment.

The results have been impressive. The Chargers rank second in the league, allowing only 81.1 rushing yards a game, and they’re the only team in the NFL to have not given up a run of more than 20 yards. The run defense certainly has come a long way since last season, when they gave up an average of 138.6 yards per contest.
