Improved execution on opening drives a focal point for Chargers

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- A strength for their offense two years ago, the Los Angeles Chargers were one of the worst teams on opening drives in 2017.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Chargers scored just three points on opening drives last season, worst in the NFL.

Those numbers are in stark contrast to how the Chargers performed on opening drives two seasons ago, scoring 65 points in 2016 -- second most in the league behind the Atlanta Falcons (69 points).

The Chargers went 3-and-out on just two of the team's opening drives last season, and committed turnovers on two opening drives.
