The Chargers have been pretty good lately winning 3 of their last 4 games and they just faced 2 tough teams like the Dolphins and the Titans. The defense has improved and they have allowed only 15.5 points per game in the last 2 games. The Colts season is over and they just lost their best player in Taylor due to an injury.
