The Los Angeles Chargers' defense, led by coordinator Jesse Minter, has shown remarkable improvement this season, highlighted by a 26-8 victory over the New Orleans Saints. This marks the second game without allowing a touchdown, a feat not achieved by the team since 2013.

With a league-low average of 13 points allowed per game, the Chargers have demonstrated strong defensive capabilities, particularly in pass defense, significantly reducing yardage allowed compared to last season.

Safety Derwin James emphasized the importance of finishing strong, while head coach Jim Harbaugh praised the unit's performance against various opponents. The team aims to build on this momentum as they face the Cleveland Browns next.
