While the SD defense has been struggling of late, you do have to take into account that they were playing those games short handed.
Merriman missed 4 games due to suspension before last week. When he has played he has probably made a bigger impact than any defender in the AFC.
Luis Castillo is their 2nd best defensive player and he has missed 4 staright games. He was having a Pro Bowl type season before he got hurt. He is going to play today.
Shaun Phillips who has 10.5 sacks at OLB missed time as well over that stretch.
I don't think the Chargers are on a different level like people are saying. They are a very good team though and I don't see any way Denver goes in there and beats them today.
If you notice I went back 6 weeks and I could have gone to 7. So what was their excuse for the 3 games prior to that?
