If they can’t get it done, the Bolts will be staring down the reality of a 0-9 start to the season.If Jim Harbaugh is going to start being combative with the media at 0-4, imagine what another month of this exact result will do to his persona.Let’s go ahead and see how these two teams stack up next to each other on paper through three weeks.Chargers OffenseTotal yards per game: 306.8 (21st)Points per game: 16.8 (29th)Passing yards per game: 121.5 (9th)Rushing yards per game: 121.5 (29th)Bolt up with Chargers fans on the SB Nation app!Get more out of game day by sharing every electric play and nail-biting moment with fellow fans.Join our live game chatBrowse with fewer adsSeamlessly jump between communitiesEnjoy faster commenting and postingDownload the SB Nation app on iOS or Android.Top PerformersPassing: QB Justin Herbert – 817 passing yards, 4 touchdownsRushing yards: RB Omarion Hampton – 238Rushing touchdowns: RB Omarion Hampon – 3Receiving yards: WR Tre’ Harris – 209Receptions: WR Tre’ Harris – 13Receiving touchdowns: Four players tied @ 1Chargers DefenseTotal yards allowed per game: 333.5 (16th)Points allowed per game: 26.5 (24th)Passing yards allowed per game: 211.8 (14th)Rushing yards allowed per game: 121.8 (22nd)Top PerformersTackles: LB Daiyan Henley – 22Tackles for loss: EDGE Khalil Mack – 5Sacks: EDGE Khalil Mack – 3Passes Defended: CB Cam Hart – 4Interceptions: S Genesis Smith – 2Forced fumbles: 6 players tied @ 1Fumble recoveries: LB Daiyan Henley – 2Broncos OffenseTotal yards per game: 280.3 (27th)Points per game: 18.5 (27th)Passing yards per game: 199.0 (20th)Rushing yards per game: 81.3 (27th)Bolt up with Chargers fans on the SB Nation app!Get more out of game day by sharing every electric play and nail-biting moment with fellow fans.Join our live game chatBrowse with fewer adsSeamlessly jump between communitiesEnjoy faster commenting and postingDownload the SB Nation app on iOS or Android.Top PerformersPassing: QB Bo Nix – 829 passing yards, 5 touchdown passesRushing yards: RB J.K.
