The Rams return to SoFi Stadium on Sunday to face the Chargers, whose offense has struggled under new coordinator Mike McDaniel. Los Angeles will look to exploit an injury-depleted offensive line while accounting for a talented group led by quarterback Justin Herbert.

By the Numbers
  • The Chargers rank last in scoring offense and last in the NFL in expected points added per play (-0.26).
  • They started four rookies on their five-man offensive line.
  • In their Week 6 loss to Kansas City, Herbert threw for 204 yards and one interception; the Chargers managed 6 points.
  • The Rams held Las Vegas to 48 rushing yards despite missing Kobie Turner and Poona Ford.
Yes, But

Despite the Chargers’ offensive struggles and line injuries, Herbert and the team’s playmakers remain a threat. A simpler playbook could also help the unit find a rhythm.

State of Play
  • The Chargers had a Week 7 bye after losing to the Chiefs.
  • The Rams’ defensive front faces a key test against a banged-up line, with the potential to pressure Herbert and disrupt the offense.
What's Next

The teams meet Sunday at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, with kickoff scheduled for 1:05 p.m. Pacific on FOX.

Bottom Line

The Rams have a clear opportunity to win the matchup up front, but they can’t overlook Herbert’s ability to make plays if the Chargers’ offense adjusts.
