Chargers Defense Struggles in Opener | Los Angeles Chargers News

Despite stopping the run and defending deep play-action, they crumbled against quick passes and couldn’t force Arizona into mistakes — a stark contrast to last year’s turnover-prone Cardinals. Head coach Jim Harbaugh admitted the unit needs urgent fixes, especially in timing and precision, but stressed they’ll focus on improvement, not excuses. With a quick turnaround to face the Raiders in Week Two, O’Leary and his crew have a chance to prove they’re more than just a shaky opener.
