-on the flip side, SD averaged a numbing 8.7 yards per pass attempt and put up a 103.1 rating. for reference, we contrast this with the 6.6 Y/A and 62.0 rating of the NYJ. ..this, however, is countered by the NYJ's strength against the pass. according to DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average), the Jets were 11.5% stronger against the pass than the nearest competitor, the Carolina Panthers, due in no small part to budding icon Darelle Revis.
-SD is nothing to write home about on the defensive side of the ball. DVOA puts the Chargers 19th against the pass and 25th against the run. the Jets have controlled the line of scrimmage recently and managed to put up 4.5 yards per carry this season despite attempting a league-leading 607 rushes and lacking any sort of consistent passing game to keep opposing defenses from cheating towards the box.
why not like the NYJ getting a touchdown+..?"
