“We just didn’t react quite fast enough.”The Chargers’ defensive coordinator has seen third-down failures far too often this season, the three examples taken from just the first quarter Sunday. And that was against a rookie quarterback making his first NFL appearance and an offense that ranks 30th in third-down efficiency. AdvertisementNow entering their Week 14 matchup in Jacksonville, the Chargers are tied for 26th in the league, allowing a third-down conversion rate of 44.4%. In Jacksonville, the Chargers will face an opponent that has converted 34.5% of its third downs, putting the Jaguars in the bottom third of the NFL. The Chargers’ first-round selection was limited during the offseason program and training camp because he was coming off shoulder surgery.
