Analysts and "experts" try to use statistics to explain what happens in the NFL. When the Pats play the Chargers on Sunday, they will play a team with a 2-4 record.
It's hard to justify that record when you look at the numbers. The Chargers lead the league in total offensive, passing and are 5th in total points per game.
They lead the league with the lowest amount of yards allowed on defense and passing per game. However, they have turned the ball over 16 times, including three in the opposition's red zone.
In their last three games, they have allowed 30 points on special teams. In their loss against the Raiders, they had two punts blocked.
You can't win in the NFL with a weakness in any phase of the game. Special teams play and turnovers are hurting the Chargers big time.
The Pats are playing excellent on special teams. This could be the most critical factor in determining the outcome of the game.
