The Chargers are looking to show some life after suffering their seventh loss, as they’re set to go to battle against the Jets this Sunday.

Here are three things to know about Los Angeles’ Week 11 opponent:

Joe Flacco named the starting quarterback

The Jets have a controversy on their hands, as they have failed to establish consistency with the quarterback position. Sam Darnold entered the season as the starter, but he’s been hindered by a shoulder injury, forcing him to sit out for the fourth time in six games in favor of Flacco. In four games, Flacco has completed 56.7% of his passes for 659 yards, four touchdowns and two touchdowns. He is 0-3 as the starter, but he almost led New York to their first win over the Patriots in Week 9, falling just short, 30-27.

Offense is not good, but it has made strides

The Jets are dead last in points per game with a measly 13.4. Based on that stat alone, there’s no denying that the team has struggled immensely, which factors into the inconsistency and the quarterback position and the lack of talent/chemistry. But health is another thing, and it just so happens that New York has started to obtain it, including their starting wide receivers, Denzel Mims and Breshad Perriman. With them on the field, in combination of efficient pass protection, the Jets mustered 319 yards of offense in the first three quarters of their game against New England.

Defensive deficiencies

The Jets not only have holes on the offensive side of the ball. They lie on defense, as well. After finishing as one of the better units a season ago, they’ve taken a major step back in 2020. New York’s defense ranks 28th in yards allowed (402.7) and 30th in points allowed (29.8). The defense consists of youth and veterans who have struggled this season. It also didn’t help that they got rid of star safety Jamal Adams. This could be the perfect week for the Chargers to produce their most productive offensive outing.
