It's time to once again review the top 5 defensive plays of the week for the Chargers (for serious this time!). The defense was kind of nu-spectacularly solid this week. There were not a lot of game-changing highlight reel plays like there were against the Ravens, but simply a lot of waiting for the Raiders to goof up (which they did do just enough).
Top Defensive Play #5 was the attempted Denarius Moore reverse that was then cutback. I think Antonio Garay is going to spend the entire off season on change of direction agility after this one.
Top Defensive Play #4 is a Na'il Diggs pass defense. Hats off to Diggs for playing a ton of OLB after the Barnes ejection (LOLWUT) and Philips' injury.
Top Defensive Play #3 is a Corey Liuget pass bat. I didn't have a lot to work with this week, don't look at me if this clip is boring!
Top Defensive Play #2 is Eric Weddle being Eric Weddle in the end zone. There were calls for a similar Weddle end zone pass defense to be included in the Ravens Top5, so here he is doing the same thing at #2 this week.
Top Defensive Play #1 is an Antoine Cason triple feature. I still can't decide if Cason had a good game or a bad game though...

Cason had a few head-scratchers,
but he had a good game overall.

play #1.2
(cason’s second play in his three-pack) was textbook… It is nice to have a CB with ball skills like that (I say as I avoid eye contact with Jammer)

On Cason's pick
looks more like it was just a badly overthrown pass by Palmer—went right over the receiver’s head and into his hands. Credit for actually catching it, but a better throw is probably a completion for a first down.
A pirate I was meant to be!

It looked like
The receiver slipped after the ball was thrown. If he didn’t slip, it may have been a completion…but the throw also looked a little high. I think Cason was just in the right place at the right time.

Did'nt Weddle..
have another play in the end zone earlier, as well, where he batted a ball out of the receivers hands? I am really glad we signed him, he’s played like THIS year was his contract year, which is refreshing.
I loved the play by Weddle
but, he didn’t play it that well. He didn’t look at the receiver and if he doesn’t bobble it, it was a easy catch. Still love him and gonna by his jersey
