Chargers-Broncos Success & Stop Rates

Sorry this took so long to go up this week.  Between the holiday, computer troubles and then not being able to get on the internet most of today, this has been a pain in the ass.  I'd also like to apologize for not getting particularly in-depth today because my first draft got wiped out when I lost power to my computer.

On offense, the 54% doesn't tell the whole story because big plays get no extra weigh and the Charger offense hit on several.  Also, they were successful on 62% of plays in the red zone (67% on running plays in the red zone).  Jackson had a great game as did pretty much every Charger who ran with the ball.  It's hard to find much fault when the team scores on almost every possession and the credit can be spread rather evenly.

On defense, the 43% makes it look like they were worked over, but a lot of the Broncos' successes came after the game was out of reach and success rate doesn't fully capture the importance of turnovers.  Weddle and Cason led the team in stops with two each.  Applewhite, Bingham, Cooper, Cromartie, Olshansky, Phillips and Williams also had a stop.

It was a dominant performance, but the Broncos made it look closer by only quitting on the defensive side of the ball.
