"The offensive line allowed the second-most sacks in the league, as they were not aided by the preseason injury to Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt playing just six games. Free agent signing Mekhi Becton is PFF's third-worst guard in the league, while center Bradley Bozeman is the league's worst according to the site."
"The development of New England's defensive line has been remarkable, with contributors emerging from unexpected sources. No duo has been more impressive this season than New England's stars, however, as both Christian Barmore and Milton Williams rank in the top three in pressure rate (min. 150 snaps). The 26-year-olds were recently rewarded with massive contracts, each exceeding $90 million in total value. While the team's modest investments on the edge have paid modest dividends, their investments in the interior have been tremendous."
The Chargers finished 11-5 with Justin Herbert, but rested him in the final game. The offense averaged 22.8 PPG and the offensive line allowed the second-most sacks, hampered by Rashawn Slater's preseason injury and Joe Alt playing six games. Mekhi Becton graded poorly per PFF and center Bradley Bozeman graded worst. The Chargers improved recently, averaging 27 points in Herbert's last five games versus 20.8 in the previous 11, but injuries persist. New England's defensive interior, led by Christian Barmore and Milton Williams, ranks among the league's best pressure-providing tandems and presents a clear trench advantage.
