3 crazy stats from Chargers’ Week 2 win over Panthers

There are plenty of crazy numbers across the board for the Chargers.

It’s been a strange start to the season across the NFL, and that begins with the Los Angeles Chargers. They are one of five remaining undefeated teams in the AFC, which leads them to a matchup with the 2-0 Steelers in Week 3.

There are plenty of crazy numbers across the board for the Chargers, as we’ve specifically seen a major change in their offensive philosophy.

Here are some stats of the wild through two weeks of the 2024 season.

2012

Ryan Mathews was in his third NFL season. Keenan Allen was in his third and final year in college. Malcom Floyd was the team’s leading receiver, and Norv Turner was head coach of the Chargers. That’s right, 2012 was the last time that the Bolts started the season 2-0.

Unfortunately, they finished that campaign 7-9, which included a 3-9 stretch after winning the first two contests. It ended up being Turner’s last season as coach. Let’s hope the season ends differently this time around, but the vibes are quite high in Los Angeles for the time being.

266

Who would’ve thought the Chargers would have the league’s leading rusher after two weeks? Many assumed that it would be a split backfield in Los Angeles, and that has remained partially true. Despite that, J.K. Dobbins leads the league with 166 rushing yards after two weeks. His insane efficiency isn’t exactly sustainable, but he’s become a great story to start the season. Perhaps most importantly, he leads the league in forced missed tackles. He seems to be finally healthy, and it’s shown with his burst and explosion. Not to mention, the Chargers got him on a complete bargain of a deal at $1.6 million for one year.

135

The Chargers offense is averaging just 135 passing yards through the first two weeks of the season, which ranks 28th in the NFL. Quarterback Justin Herbert hasn’t been asked to do as much this season, and it’s worked to the point of back-to-back victories. The lack of playmakers is a large reason for the low passing numbers, in addition to Jim Harbaugh’s tendency to run the ball.  Herbert is averaging exactly half of his career yards per game, and at some point, the Chargers will need to see more from this aspect of their offense.

Where the Chargers rank statistically after Week 1

Here is how the Chargers compare statistically to the rest of the NFL after Week 1.

After defeating the Raiders in Week 1, the Chargers will face the Panthers this Sunday.

Los Angeles will look to get their passing game going while keeping the momentum in the run game that was sparked in the second half by J.K. Dobbins. Defensively, they will seek the same level of dominance.

With Week 2 coming up, how do the Bolts compare to the rest of the NFL after the first week? Here is where Los Angeles ranks:

Offense

Category Stat Rank
Points per game 22.0 ppg 16th
Passing offense 140.0 ypg 23rd
Rushing offense 176.0 ypg 5th
Total offense 316.0 ypg 13th
3rd down conversions 26.67% 25th
Red zone scoring 50.00% 12th
Sacks allowed 1 T-1st
Turnovers 0 T-1st

Defense

Category Stat Rank
Points allowed 10.0 ppg 2nd
Passing defense 225.0 ypg 25th
Rushing defense 71.0 ypg 4th
Total defense 296.0 ypg 15th
3rd down conversions 35.71% 16th
Red zone defense — 1st
