Disruptive D-Lineman
Usually relegated to a reserve role at defensive end, or at least a non-full time role, Allen Bailey played every defensive snap for the Chiefs and had a great +4.1 performanceNeither Chad Rinehart nor Jeromy Clary could keep up with Bailey as he forced cuts and collected his stops, proving a general nuisance in the run game. He even forced a hold on Clary at one point (OT, 14:33), setting back the Charger offense in overtime.
Potential Depth Issues
Butler a Bright Spot
Butler went on to grade at +2.8 for the game while collecting 11 tackles and six stopsShaky Pass Defense
Even against the Chief backups, the Chargers still showed continuing issues in pass defense outside of Eric Weddle, particularly from corners Richard Marshall and Shareece Wright, both of whom graded below -2.0 overall. Wright allowed a reception on all four targetsGame Notes
- Still showing some rust in his return from an ACL injury, Melvin Ingram graded negatively in 49 snaps, his most since returning in Week 14.
- Phillip Rivers completed just three of 10 pass attempts over 10 yards in the air.PFF Game BallEric Weddle gets the nod for a rounded, +2.7 performance.
