The Joey Bosa effect: Chargers need more pass rush

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Isaac Rochell had the tough task over the weekend. He tried to replace one of the best defensive players in the game in Joey Bosa.

A seventh-round selection in last year’s draft out of Notre Dame, Rochell finished with four tackles and no sacks in a 38-28 season-opening loss against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Without Bosa in the game for the Chiefs to focus on, his counterpart Melvin Ingram recorded three quarterback hits but no sacks.
