Pro Football Focus ranked the NFL's 10 best single-season pass-rushing duos, and two of the best to don a Chargers uniform in the past decade made the list.
Chargers' 2017 edge rushers, Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram, were among the ten, according to PFF's Bradley Locker.
Bosa and Ingram took their game to the next level in 2017.
"Prior to numerous injuries, Bosa was regularly one of the most dominant edge defenders in the NFL, which only makes it fitting for him and Ingram to make this list," Locker wrote. ''In 2017, each was in the top seven in PFF pass-rush grade and the top eight for pass-rush win rate for any eligible defensive lineman. By pass-rush grade alone, the Chargers featured two of the four best edge rushers in the league that season."
"Bosa netted 75 pressures and 13 sacks, while Ingram posted 76 pressures and 11 sacks himself. While their collective work didn't help Los Angeles reach the playoffs that year, it lives on as one of the premier teammate pass-rushing seasons in recent memory."
The 2017 Chargers finished with a 9-7 record and second in the division; however, it wasn't due to the shortcomings of Ingram and Bosa.
The pass-rushing duo combined for 126 tackles, 28 tackles for loss, 46 quarterback hits, 23 sacks and five forced fumbles as they played in all 16 games that season.
Bosa and Ingram were teammates for five seasons, from 2016 to 2020. While they dominated in their time together, recording 61.5 sacks, they only have one playoff win to show for it.
Nonetheless, Bosa and Ingram have earned their place among the best pass-rushing duos of the century.
