B+

Philip Rivers did exactly what he had to do. He didn't screw it up, he won and he let the Raiders fans have it.

Running backs

B –

Who played?

Receivers

B

Antonio Gates is back. Chris Chambers has made the big difference in this offense.

Offensive line

D

Run blocking basically was nonexistent. Too much going through the motions.

Defensive line

C

Without Jamal Williams, D-line became far too vulnerable to the cutback run.

Linebackers

B

Shaun Phillips was held longer than World War II France.

Secondary

A –

Just a shame Antonio Cromartie didn't get that pick, which would have become a sure touchdown.

Special teams

F+

Mike Scifres and Nate Kaeding are terrific, but coverage stinks for the second straight week. Must be addressed.

Coaching

A

Norv Turner, who can't coach, gets his 11th victory.

NEXT OPPORTUNITY

Tennessee

B

The grudge match. Let's see what really goes into this Chargers recipe.
