The Los Angeles Chargers sacked Zach Wilson eight times in their 27-6 victory over the New York Jets on Monday night. Joey Bosa had 2.5 sacks, Khalil Mack and Tuli Tuipulotu each had two.
This is what the unit looks like when healthy — something they have not had the luxury of at certain parts of the season.
"Just when we're healthy that's how they'll rush," Chargers Head Coach Brandon Staley said via the team's official website. "They just haven't been healthy together for very long, but when they've been healthy together, that's how they've played.
Staley added: "That's why we have to keep them that way, but then when you get the other guys rushing, you know, when you have Tuli rushing as well as he is, Foxy [Morgan Fox], those interior guys, Derwin [James Jr.], it's going to create more opportunities for everybody."
"Just how we played for four quarters," Staley said about the defense's performance. "I thought from the first whistle to the last one, we competed. Thought we did the things that good defenses do.
"I thought we were physical tonight, we did a really good job against the run game, thought we rushed the passer, we limited the explosions in the deep part of the field and we were really good in the redzone," Staley added. "It was a team win and our guys, they practiced at a high level all week and they carried it to the field tonight."
