Jesse Minter has the Chargers’ defense playing at an elite level.
Since the start of the season, no team has scored over 20 points on the Bolts. This is the fourth time since 1990 that a defense has limited its opponents to that mark, per NFL Media’s Peter Schrager.
Los Angeles ranks No. 1 in scoring defense, allowing just 13.1 points per game.
Minter’s coaching has the defensive unit firing on all cylinders.
In the trenches, they’ve been stout against the run and the pass rush is finally starting to come alive. The linebackers are rallying to the football. The coverage has been tight, and the scheme has confused opposing quarterbacks.
Minter is just in the first season as the team’s defensive coordinator, but it might be his only stint in this role.
“We’ve gotta enjoy Jesse Minter while we have him because I think he’s gonna be a Head Coach next year,” Jim Harbaugh said in his appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.
