Rivers not feeling the pressure

The offensive line giving their backs room

The Chargers' offensive line has powered the running game, as they have created an average of 2.21 yards before contact per attempt, which ranks second in the league.

James is a slam dunk

Derwin James has been lights out for the Bolts, ranking third in defensive grade (83.6) among rookie defenders this season. Among all safeties, James ranks seventh.

James getting to the QB

Part of James' success this season has been his ability to get to the quarterback. With a pass-rush grade of 86.0 and a win rate of 18.2%, James is the best pass-rushing safety in the league.

Carr: Strong when making quick throws

Derek Carr has struggled at times this season, but he's still among the best at getting rid of the ball quickly. On throws in 2.0 seconds or less, Carr has a grade of 82.9, ranking fifth in the NFL.

Cook running efficient routes from the slot

Jared Cook has been one of the few bright spots for the Raiders this season, ranking fifth in yards per route run (2.29) among tight ends when lined up in the slot. His 77.4 overall grade also ranks fifth among tight ends.

Hurst making an impact

Maurice Hurst has an overall grade of 71.9 so far, ranking fifth among rookie defensive linemen.
