As the Los Angeles Chargers reach the midway point though, the offense remains a work in progress.The Chargers (4-4) go into Sunday’s game against the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions ranked 15th in the league in total offense, averaging 341 yards per game. “We are where we are right now. I think that this group is still figuring it out together, but I like the group that we are coaching and I like the way this group’s competing,” coach Brandon Staley said.The offense gained only 191 yards in last Monday’s 27-6 win over the New York Jets.
