COSTA MESA, Calif. — The Los Angeles Chargers overhauled their defense during the offseason after being one of the worst units last year against the run. Four games into the season, it still remains a work in progress. The Chargers are allowing 109.8 yards per game on the ground, which is tied for 14th in the league. But they have also been giving up big gains at inopportune times. Los Angeles faces its biggest run-stopping challenge so far on Sunday at Cleveland, as Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt lead a ground game that is second in the league, averaging 187.3 yards.
