The San Diego Chargers still have a lot of football left to play in 2014, but something has to change over the bye week.
As ESPN's Eric D. Williams alluded to in a recent blog post, the Chargers are at a crossroads after last week's blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins. The shutout was the first suffered by San Diego since 1999, and it was as ugly as the scoreboard implied.
Things got so bad in the second half that Philip Rivers and a handful of starters didn't even take the field for the fourth quarter. The same Chargers team that won five straight games earlier this year has dropped its last three contests, two of which came against division rivals.
Coming out of the bye, San Diego will open at home against the Oakland Raiders—who nearly beat the Chargers in Week 6—and the following week will bring the St. Louis Rams to town—a potential trap game considering the two upsets St. Louis has already pulled off in wins over Seattle and San Francisco.
Here's how the units have graded out through the first nine games of the season.
