Nick Canepa's Chargers report card: at Rams

Union-Tribune columnist Nick Canepa grades the Chargers after their 35-23 loss Sunday to the Rams in the 'Fight for L.A.'

Quarterbacks: B

At first it appeared the Judases would play Michael Spinks to the Rams’ Mike Tyson in the Fight for L.A. But Philip Rivers’ chin was solid enough to just lose it on points. Hard to win when you have to score 35-plus against a good defense.

Running backs: B

Managed 141 rushing yards. Melvin Gordon had nowhere to run for a while, then got it going.
