The Los Angeles Chargers, in their Week 4 loss to the New York Giants, displayed a number of areas of concern across their roster, many of which were simply continuations of some of the issues that have plagued the team to this point in the season.
Yet, their pass rush, even in the absence of star pass rusher Khalil Mack, held strong, and linebacker Tuli Tuipulotu had his first major impact game of the season, sending a strong message to the NFL both about his capabilities and the ongoing lethality of the team's defense.
While Mack's absence is still massive for this team, Tuipulotu amping up his performance could seriously help plug the hole in the roster it leaves, and the team's continued ability to pressure opposing quarterbacks could be the key to making a run at the division championship this season.
