Chargers News: Bolts Aim to Capitalize on Cowboys Offensive Woes
The Los Angeles Chargers get a good test right out of their bye week as they welcome the Dallas Cowboys to Sofi Stadium. It will be a fun matchup between two teams that desperately need a win, and that should showcase some strong football.
Alex Katon of Chargers Wire looked at the Dallas offense and broke down their struggles from this season. They wanted to be the best team in the league, but so far, it has been a problem for Dallas.
“Well, through five games, Dallas has neither. They are 3-2, but their lackluster offense has been the biggest talking point this season, with several poor performances after a solid start to the season against the Giants. Dak Prescott has thrown four interceptions, three against the 49ers last week. CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks’ usages have been frustrating, both for fans of the team and the players themselves.”

The Cowboys will likely try to use Lamb even more in this game after he has complained about touches of late. They want to keep their star wide receiver happy, and this Chargers defense hasn't been overly strong.
The Chargers have dealt with different injuries to their secondary and have been very prone to giving up big plays on the field. If they can limit that, they could be in decent shape.
“LA is far from a great defense, clocking in at 22nd in defensive DVOA, but they have forced seven turnovers in their first four games. If they can bait the Cowboys offense into even one or two mistakes or jump out to an early lead, Dallas may not have the schematic firepower to catch up.”

Winning the turnover battle will be a key in this game for the Bolts. They don't want to beat themselves, and Dallas is coming in off a bad loss last week. They would love nothing more than to hand the Chargers another defeat to help get themselves back on track.
