CBS Sports assigned midseason letter grades to every NFL franchise, giving the Los Angeles Chargers an F—the league’s lowest rating—and awarding A grades to three teams. Earlier in the week, Yahoo Sports analysts Frank Schwab and Eric Edholm released their own first-half grades, praising the Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals and New York Giants while also docking the Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles with low marks.

USA TODAY Sports issued a separate set of grades for all 32 clubs, and The Ringer’s midseason power rankings placed the Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears among the league’s top contenders. CBS Sports analysts also voted on midseason awards, naming quarterback Joe Burrow as MVP and the Jaguars as the leading Super Bowl pick.
