true but rivers barely had time in the first two drives , his oline could block or his WR couldnt get open. The article above cites a lot of broncos players stepping which Iam sure is being exaggerated to prove the point of the article but the chargers oline didnt really play well today initially.
That's in part because they ran for two yards on first down and one yard on second down and forced into third and longs a lot.
Yes, early in the game they got to Rivers a lot, but the pass rush subsided after that and all the Chargers did was runs with a gimpy RB (at least the first half) and short passes. They never tested the Broncos deep.
