Chargers Daily Links: Bolts earn ‘B+’ in victory over Vikings

Good morning, Chargers fans!

Despite starting the season 0-2, CBS Sports NFL analyst John Breech had bee pretty good to the Chargers in regards to his weekly letter grades he hands out each week. After all, the team had been competitive enough to warrant high marks for the most part, it was simply coming out on top in the that they couldn’t quite pin down.

But they did this week!

For their dramatic efforts in Minnesota, Breech gave the Chargers a B+. If it wasn’t for the abysmal defense, there’s no doubt they could have pushed for an A or A+.

Here’s what Breech had to say about their Week Three performance:

“The Chargers defense hasn’t come up with many big stops this year, but that changed in this game. The defense came up huge in crunch time with two big stops in the fourth quarter. Not only did they stuff the Vikings on a fourth-and-goal from the two, but Kenneth Murray also iced the game with an interception on Minnesota’s final offensive play. If the Chargers defense uses this game as a stepping stone, this team could soon be dangerous. Offensively, the Chargers did struggle on the ground without Austin Ekeler, but Justin Herbert more than made up for that by throwing for 405 yards and three touchdowns.”

And now for today’s links.
