The San Diego Chargers lost to the Detroit Lions, 10-38. The San Diego Chargers have fallen to 7-8 on the year, while the Lions improve to 10-5.
It is a shame that we didn’t get to see more run blocking in the Lions game. Most all the linemen, and even the tight ends, were doing a pretty good job against a stout Lions’ defensive front four. But the Chargers got behind early, and ended up passing the ball, a lot.
The remarkable thing was that the Lions got up early on the Chargers. That usually means the defense can pin their ears back and come after the quarterback because they know the other team must start throwing more. But the line still did a decent job pass blocking.
The Chargers didn’t lose this game due to the offensive line play. In fact, they lost despite some good line play.
Jared Gaither ends the day with a 95% run assignment grade and a 91% and +2 pass assignment grade. Gaither gets highlighted again because he did a good job at left tackle…and it raises the question of whether the Chargers will try and retain Jared’s services for the 2012 season.
Let’s take a look at the rest of those grades…
