The Chargers (2-3) lost in Oakland 27-35. QB Phillip Rivers completed 27 of 42 passes for 431 yards with two TD’s. WR Malcom Floyd had a huge game with 213 yards receiving with two TD’s, while Antonio Gates added a TD. "The players share a lot of the blame for their poor play and lack of consistency, but the one thing you can't blame them for is injuries." The Chargers really have continued their early season mediocrity against the easiest schedule. Injury issues are not quite as serious as they were last year (when the Chargers lost Jamal Williams and Nick Hardwick) but the Chargers have still lost key players for parts of this season (Stephen Cooper, Louis Vasquez, Ryan Mathews to name a few). Injuries effect the Chargers roster depth and roster depth effects the Chargers performance, or lack thereof, on special teams. As good as the offense and defense have been at times against average opponents, they aren’t good against talented teams. Their offense is ranked best in the league overall (461ypg) with the league’s best ranked pass game (337ypg) and an 12th ranked running game (124ypg). They are the second best team in scoring averaging 28ppg. They’ll be up against the Rams 20th ranked defense (342ypg), their 22nd ranked pass rush (231ypg) and 16th ranked rush defense (116ypg). The Packers give up the eleventh amount of points per-game (17.8ppg).
The Rams (1-4) got pounded by Detroit 14-44, at home. QB Sam Bradford completed 23 of 45 passes for 215 yards with two interceptions. RB Steven Jackson had 25 carries for 114 yards, while top WR Danny Amendola made 12 catches for 95 yards. They were a perfect 0-3 in the red zone. The Rams lost Mark Clayton to a season-ending knee injury. Clayton is the third Rams wideout to go on injured reserve this season, joining Donnie Avery and undrafted rookie Dominique Curry — both of whom also suffered season-ending knee injuries. QB Sam Bradford quickly developed a chemistry with Clayton and Danny Amendola. Now that Mark Clayton is out of the mix it’s going to be tough for QB Sam Bradford . Their offense is ranked 20th overall (318ypg) with a 17th ranked pass game (216ypg) and an 21st ranked running game (101.8ypg). They score the 27th most points per-game (23.8ppg). They’ll be up against the Rams 20th ranked defense (342ypg), the league’s 24th ranked pass rush (231ypg) and 110st ranked rush defense (110ypg). The Dolphins give up the 24th most points per-game (23ppg).
