As the Los Angeles Chargers prepare to face the Cincinnati Bengals, both teams' defensive coordinators are feeling the pressure. Chargers' Jesse Minter and Bengals' Lou Anarumo are strategizing to contain star quarterbacks Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow, respectively. This matchup, featuring two top draft picks from 2020, promises to be a thrilling prime-time showdown.
Burrow leads the NFL in passing yards and completions, while Herbert has been on a hot streak, averaging over 260 passing yards in recent games. The Chargers' defense, allowing the fewest points per game, faces its toughest challenge yet against Burrow and his top receiver, Ja'Marr Chase. The game will test both teams' offensive and defensive strategies, particularly in how they handle passing plays and pressure on the quarterbacks.
