The San Diego Chargers fall to the Denver Broncos in overtime, 13-16. The Chargers drop to 4-7 on the year and the Broncos improve to 6-5.
If is hard to have continuity on a team when you have 3 of your starting 5 offensive lineman out of the game. But players like Tony Moll, Stephen Schilling, and Brandyn Dombrowski appear to be picking up the slack. At least....as best they can.
Tony Moll ends the game with a 80% assignment grade and a +0 dominance score in run blocking. In the passing game, Tony records a 87% assignment grade with a -3 dominance score. Those number aren't to bad considering he is a fill in that hasn't had time to gel with the other players on the line.
Randy McMichael has an off game in run blocking but has demonstrated that he is a real good blocker in pass protection. He ends the game with a +2 power score in that area, which is rare. As always, the tight ends and backs film grades, are here.
Let's take a look at the rest of those grades...

Pass Blocking Notes:
- AT 1:17 in the 1st quarter, Tony Moll misses a looping linebacker in pass protection.
- Brandyn Dombrowski was getting bull rushed a lot in the Denver game. He ends the day with a -7 dominance score...not a good score.
- At 11:45 in the 1st quarter, Jeromey Clary gets beat on a spin move. He later gets beat by the spin move again, for a sack at 6:19 in the 4th quarter. You can see the pic, below. The defender is just coming out of his spin move and going to make his way to the quarterback, and the sack.
