Chargers’ best and worst PFF grades vs. the Raiders

See which Chargers earned shimmering marks, and which ones didn’t, against the Raiders in week one.

NFL: Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports

In a game where the Chargers’ new-look defense was relied upon to close it out, they came through in a big way with back-to-back strip sacks which effectively slammed the door on Derek Carr and the Raiders.

Khalil Mack welcomed himself to Los Angeles with three sacks and three tackles for loss, including the big strip sack to force a turnover on downs. To no one’s surprise, he was the team’s highest-graded player on defense. However, one offensive player turned a surprisingly big game into the Chargers’ top grade by Pro Football Focus.
