Chargers Defense Played Relentlessly!

The San Diego Chargers is one of, if not, the hottest teams in the NFL entering December. The Chargers has a six gave winning streak, it is 8-3 and has a one game lead over the Denver Broncos in the division. The Chargers look poised to make a run at the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs and a first-round bye as well.

The win over the Kansas City Chiefs gave the Chargers a 5-1 record against division opponents this year.  The offense played awesome as always, but I have to give the San Diego Chargers' defense some props. The Chargers' defense has been terrific during this winning streak. It has allowed an opponent to score over 20 points just once and surrendered a total of 17 points in the last two games.

The Chargers' defense has been doing a great job of putting pressures on opposing quarterbacks, which the reason for their success of late. Against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Chargers only had one sack but they made Matt Cassell uncomfortable all game. He was pressured into throwing an interception and two fumbles in which he lost one. The lost fumble was returned by Chargers safety Paul Oliver for a touchdown.
