The Chargers' 弁護 got 歴史的に shredded by Tua and Tyreek in a season-開始 loss
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) - The Chargers entered the season 慎重に 確信して they had a 弁護 that could 勝利，勝つ a 最高の Bowl. With 防御の guru Brandon Staley designing 計画／陰謀s for a 星／主役にする-laden 部隊 含むing a healthy Joey Bosa and J.C. Jackson, Los Angeles thought this group was sturdy and solid.
And then Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill ran over, around and through that 弁護 in a 歴史的に ominous start to the Bolts' season.
Los Angeles 産する／生じるd a franchise-記録，記録的な／記録する 466 yards passing in its 36-34 loss to the Miami イルカs on Sunday, and that 大規模な number was just the beginning of the Chargers' woes.
"It´s definitely a humbling loss defensively, knowing that we didn´t help the 罪／違反 at all," 辛勝する／優位 rusher Khalil Mack said. "We´ve just got to get it 訂正するd and be ready for next week."
The Chargers gave up 536 total yards, the most they've 許すd in an opener. Los Angeles couldn't cover Hill (11 catches for 215 yards) and couldn't 反対する Tagovailoa's playmaking acumen.
They also couldn't stop making 決定的な mistakes, 非，不，無 more glaring than Jackson's 30-yard pass 干渉，妨害 刑罰，罰則 at the halftime gun to gift three points to Miami in a two-point loss.

While Staley and his players gave credit to the イルカs' 罪／違反 for an exceptional 業績／成果, the Chargers also 認める they weren't what they 推定する／予想する to be.
"The 弁護, we didn't come out and have a good game," safety Derwin James said. "We didn't make the stops we're supposed to make. We've got to do better for the 罪／違反. We will be better."
The Chargers broke the franchise 記録，記録的な／記録する of 453 yards passing 許すd to the St. Louis 押し通すs in November 2002. The Bolts also gave up the second-most yards passing 許すd by any NFL team in a season opener, より勝るd only by Miami´s 516 空気／公表する yards 許すd to New England in 2011.
によれば Next Gen Stats, the Chargers 圧力d Tagovailoa only five times on 46 dropbacks, resulting in no 解雇（する）s and just two quarterback 攻撃する，衝突するs. That´s not an encouraging number for a 弁護 ひどく 投資するd in vaunted pass rushers Bosa and Mack, who 連合させるd for only three 取り組むs and didn´t really lay a 手渡す on Tua.
The mistakes were big and small, but the one that glared brightest was Jackson's inexplicable 決定／判定勝ち（する） to 押す Erik Ezukanma 30 yards downfield when Tagovailoa made a low-百分率 heave from midfield 権利 before halftime. Miami 変えるd the 刑罰，罰則 into a 41-yard field goal that infuriated Jackson's チーム仲間s.
"Man, y´all going to make me 悪口を言う／悪態, man," Mack said with a grimace. "I was pissed off. にもかかわらず, you´ve got to look at it and get it 訂正するd. 選手権 football is not played that way, and we want to be 支持する／優勝者s. That´s not 許容できる."
Jackson, the $82.5 million cornerback who 行方不明になるd the final 11 games of last season, made two more glaring mistakes: He ran an interception out of the end zone for only 4 yards in the third ４半期/4分の1, and he was beaten on Hill's 35-yard TD catch a few minutes later.
Staley bluntly said Jackson's 業績／成果 was "not very good. Everybody on 弁護 today that was covering did not have a good game. It was not just J.C. Jackson. It was our entire 支援する seven didn´t have a 広大な／多数の／重要な game. It starts with me, as the coach, and I have to do a better 職業."
The 弁護 wasted a 433-yard, 34-point 業績／成果 by Justin Herbert and an 罪／違反 that did enough to 勝利，勝つ, によれば Staley.
When Chargers receiver Keenan Allen was asked where his team must 改善する 全体にわたる, he had a quick answer: "I think get off the field on third 負かす／撃墜する defensively. That would be big for us, giving the 罪／違反 more 適切な時期. We put up 34, and if we get a couple of stops on 弁護, that might turn into 44."
Staley 繰り返して credited the Dolph ins, whose 最高の，を越す talents played exceptionally 井戸／弁護士席. When the Chargers hosted Miami last December, they held Tagovailoa, Hill and the 罪／違反 to just 127 yards passing in a 23-17 victory.
"いつかs games like this happen in the NFL," Staley said. "The last time we played these guys, it was the other way. いつかs, you´re going to have a game where you light it up, and いつかs in a game with that type of 技術 over there, you can get lit up."
