Are any of the Chargers defensive players free agents? Let's be fair to them. They gave their offense more than enough chances early to take control of the game and they were let down.

Justin Chokebert

I'd like to believe if Bryce can end his second season a lot stronger than his first, XL can do the same.

Remember, this Chargers team got to face Bryce Young at his absolute worst and our defense... and the final score was only 26-3. You can't blow that version of us out, yeah, you're not that good.

Receiver bobbled a good pass that got picked off. The first two interceptions were more on Herbert, however.

The Chargers have gone full Chargering!

He's a choker in big moments. This is not the first time he's done this.

Their saving grace is that their opponents may be the better choke artists. Only the Chargers could generate four turnovers in three quarters and yet still be losing.

Good grief. Herbert went full Teddy mode throwing it short of the sticks.

Collins giveth and taketh away.

Chargers Chargering through the first half of a playoff game? Say it ain't so!

Neither QB is having a fun time with their (lack of) protection.

Herbert thinks he's Mahomes and can get away with those type of throws.

Chargers could've easily been up 14-0 if their receivers could actually catch.

Putting the ball twice on the ground isn't exactly settling down. Very lucky they kept the ball both times.

Hmm, this game could get out of hand for Texas if they're not careful.

Matters more if the team believes in him than what people here think. They are saying he's their guy, which means continuing with the type of moves we did last offseason to get more out of him. Higher expectations for Bryce requires higher expectations of the organization.

Oh, that mistake made by the Browns just got even worse. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/deshaun-watson-could-miss-all-of-2025-after-rupturing-his-achilles-again And let's not forget this could've easily been us. Tepper wanted him. People on this board wanted him. At least the choices we eventually made is bearing some fruit.

First and maybe fatal turnover for Penn State.

I'd say the only real downside is that this unit can still get manhandled by superior defenses. Not a big need for major improvements, although more depth would be welcome.

I've generally been more of a fan of putting money toward the front seven. Let them disrupt the play before the corners have to get involved. Unfortunately, we're so far away from being in that scenario.

Not from PFF but some other interesting metrics to chew on: This is actually tied to the playcaller and how often they call plays that - in theory - is supposed to make it easier for the offense and how effective they were. I will say that with Canales, this does seem to correlate with how we seem to be putrid running screens. I believe this is how much a QB's overall performance is helped/hurt on plays that is meant to be thrown to a specific player. A rough visualization of pass yards that are more because of how far the QB threw the ball and more on the receiver.
