🚨 CHARGERS NEWS! Today, Andrew McFarland goes through the PFF grades from the Chargers' 24-9 loss to the Rams, which dropped the team to 0-7 with the Texans visiting SoFi next. These are single-game grades from the Rams game only, not season grades, and they are PFF's grades, not ours. Chargers Digest breaks down which units earned their flowers, who graded as the soft spot, and what PFF says about Justin Herbert and the receivers. Did Joe Alt and the offensive line play better than the score suggests? Did the defense get overlooked in a 0-7 start? 🏈 OFFENSIVE LINE FLOWERS Joe Alt graded 77.7 against the Rams, the top offensive grade per PFF, with an 89.9 in pass blocking. Travis Burke graded 69.4 at right tackle, and Jake Slaughter (78.9) and Logan Taylor (76.4) both graded well in pass blocking. Cole Strange graded 48.6 overall. How good was the Chargers offensive line in pass protection? Where does Strange fit going forward? 🏈 DEFENSE FLOWERS AND THE SOFT SPOT Isas Waxter graded 89.0 per PFF, with an 89.9 coverage grade. R.J. Mickens (84.2), Troy Dye (82.8), Del'Shawn Phillips (79.8) and Justin Eboigbe (73.7) also graded well, though Mickens and Dye played small snap counts. Daiyan Henley graded 27.7, the lowest defensive grade per PFF, after the Rams completed all four passes thrown at him. Is the Chargers defense better than its record? Is Henley's grade fair? 🏈 WHO GETS THE SHAME PFF graded Justin Herbert 50.2 against the Rams, 54.3 as a passer and 45.2 as a runner. How much of the loss falls on Herbert? What changes ahead of the Texans game? 🏈 RECEIVERS AND SPECIAL TEAMS Oronde Gadsden graded 74.4, Tre Harris 66.1 and Quentin Johnston 63.1, while Ladd McConkey graded 51.0 per PFF. On special teams, long snapper Josh Harris graded 82.1, the top special teams grade per PFF. Did the Chargers receivers have a solid day? Who deserves the most credit on special teams? 🔥 CHARGERS NEWS & RUMORS COVERED: Chargers PFF grades Week 8 Chargers vs Rams PFF grades Chargers news today Chargers 2026 NFL season Joe Alt PFF grade Chargers offensive line Isas Waxter Chargers Daiyan Henley PFF grade Justin Herbert PFF grade Justin Herbert Rams game Oronde Gadsden Chargers Quentin Johnston Chargers Ladd McConkey Chargers Chargers vs Texans preview Chargers 0-7 💬 CHARGERS FANS: Who earned the most flowers against the Rams?
