The Chargers and Vikings are set to clash this weekend in a battle between kindred spirits.
Both are 0-2. Both have lost each game this season by one score. Both are still two of the top offenses in the NFL.
So what’s the issue here? For the Chargers, it’s their bottom-ranked defense.
For the Vikings, they haven’t been able to stop shooting themselves in the foot with turnovers. They have given the ball away six times this season with five of those being fumbles. Quarterback Kirk Cousins has been responsible for three of them while Alexander Mattison and Justin Jefferson each have one on their record.
