8 out of 11 opponents beat Rivers and the Chargers by keeping them out of the end zone, something the Jags D has been atrocious at doing all season.

They lost to the Bengals, who had a 100 yard rusher and registered 4 sacks of Rivers.

They lost to the Vikings, who had a 100 yard rusher and registered 4 sacks of Rivers.

They lost to the Steelers, who had a 100 yard rusher.

They lost to the Packers, who had a 100 yard rusher and registered 3 sacks of Rivers.

They lost to the Raiders, who had neither a 100 yard rusher or more than 1 sack, though they had a rusher go 15-85 yards.

They lost to the Ravens, who had neither a 1000 yard rusher or more than 2 sacks.

They lost to the Chiefs, who had neither a 100 yard rusher (though they had a rusher go 11 for 96 yards) or more than 3 sacks (though Tamba Hali had two).

 

As a general rule, the teams that beat the Chargers ran the ball well and generated a pass rush.

 

We did neither and lost.
