One has to wonder how the Bolts' season would have gone with Rashawn Slater in the lineup.

It's no secret that the Los Angeles Chargers' offensive line was one of the worst in the NFL this season, and those issues were on full display in the Bolts' embarrassing 16-3 defeat to the New England Patriots this past Sunday night in the Wild Card Round.

The problem started, of course, before the regular season ever began, as two-time Pro Bowl left tackle Rashawn Slater, who signed a four-year, $114 million extension on July 27, suffered a torn patellar tendon in his left knee just 11 days later while attempting to block Tuli Tuipulotu in practice, thus ending his season.
