Chargers' porous defense falters in season opener despite strong rushing attack

The Chargers' defense allowed over 500 yards passing and struggled to stop the Dolphins' passing game.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had a career day, throwing for 466 yards and connecting with Tyreek Hill for two touchdowns.
Newly acquired cornerback J.C. Jackson had a rough debut, giving up a touchdown and penalty after returning from injury.
The Chargers' rushing offense performed well behind Austin Ekeler and Joshua Kelley, gaining 234 yards on the ground.
Head coach Brandon Staley took responsibility for the defense's poor performance and needs to improve the unit.
