Chargers may be the worst team in NFL history at returning punts - Michael David Smith
That’s not just the worst in the NFL this year; it’s on pace for the worst in NFL history. The 1965 St. Louis Cardinals have the NFL record for fewest punt return yards in a season, with 27. The Chargers are on pace for two punt return yards this season, which would obliterate the Cardinals’ record.

To be fair, injuries have ravaged this team, but injuries are a fact of life in the NFL, particularly as the season progresses. One area where the Chargers could stand a massive upgrade: the punt return game, where Jacoby Jones and Keenan Allen have managed a whopping one return yard in two months of football. ONE YARD.

Count 'em up: Dozen Chargers injured in 6th loss - Michael Gehlken (UT$)
The Chargers were bruised up in a 29-26 loss to the Ravens. They also may have been buried, as Justin Tucker converted a 39-yard field goal while time expired. Exhale. Inhale. Little oxygen seems left. San Diego is 2-6, the franchise’s worst first half to a season since it started 1-7 in 2003.

Chargers let another one slip away in road loss to Ravens - Eric Williams
Second-year corner Jason Verrett followed Steve Smith most of the game. Although he gave up a 46-yard completion to Smith, Verrett played solid overall, finishing with seven combined tackles and three pass breakups.

He didn’t put up gaudy numbers, but Rivers was efficient. Rivers finished 28-of-37 for 301 yards and three touchdown passes. Rivers completed passes to eight receivers and threw for more than 300 yards for the fifth game in a row.
