Chargers Star Defensive Duo Among The Top of NFL Pass-Rush Combos
Like any good defense in the NFL, you need solid pass rusher. Well, luckily for the Los Angeles Chargers, they have a few good options to work with. Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack form a strong duo for the Bolts on their defense with their abilities to hound the quarterback and get into the backfield to disrupt the opposing offenses.
Maurice Moton of Blecher Report ranked the Chargers passing rushing duo second in the NFL among all teams. The only duo that they were ranked behind were T.J. Watt and Cameron Heyward from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Now, this is pretty elite company to be in considering the talent across the NFL. But it also shows just how special the Chargers leading men on defense can be!
Last season Bosa was limited to just five games due to injuries but he is ready to come back stronger in 2023. In 2021, he showed the damage that he could do as he posted 10.5 sacks and 51 tackles, while also forcing seven fumbles as well. Bosa has rare speed off the line which gives him a major advantage against his opponent. He is a nightmare for offensive coordinators to scheme against is a focal point for opponents to key in on.
Mack isn't on the same level that he once was but he is still highly productive and has the ability to wreak havoc in the backfield. He posted eight sacks and 50 tackles last season in his first season with Los Angeles.
If the two players are able to stay healthy and really form chemistry along the defensive line then Los Angeles could be in for a great season on defense. The rest of the NFL better hope this isn't the case because these two are game changers together.
