A widening power-index gap meets a pivotal ground-game matchup as the winless Chargers try to stop their six-game skid.
At SoFi Stadium, the 3-4 Rams can build on a one-game winning streak, while the 0-6 Chargers need their first win; the power index ranks Los Angeles 11th and the Chargers 30th. The Rams have won two of their last five, including a 35-21 victory over Las Vegas, while the Chargers have lost six straight. Rams running back Kyren Williams has 492 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns, a threat against a Chargers defense that has allowed nine rushing touchdowns in six games. The Rams’ Byron Young has 4.5 sacks, and the Chargers have allowed 21 sacks; protecting Justin Herbert, who has five touchdown passes and eight interceptions, could be pivotal.
