[32] has no website tag. [36] links to an msn.com post that doesn't link to the original website, try to find the original source and use that instead. [195], its website tag is for the Los Angeles Chargers wikipedia page, while most other references to chargers.com in the article have been just chargers.com. Change it to be chargers.com.

Overall:
Pass or Fail:

In that game, they were beaten by a field goal as time expired in overtime, when a tie would have put both teams in the playoffs... remove the second comma. Staley's philosophy was criticised after failed attempts in overtime defeats to the Chiefs and Raiders... change "criticised" to "criticized", same thing for "prioritised" to "prioritized". Los Angeles had prioritized an upgrade of their offensive line, with 1st-round draft pick Rashawn Slater joining free agent signings Corey Linsley and Matt Feiler... add a hyphen between "free agent". a feat previous achieved only by LaDainian Tomlinson in franchise history... "previous" needs to be changed to "previously". They struggled particularly against the run, and gave up several big plays on the ground during their season-ending defeat... remove the comma.

Thanks, changes made now. Harper J. Cole (talk) 22:11, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lynn had compiled a 33–31 record over four seasons, making the playoffs once. His reign was marked by a number of narrow defeats... change "a number of" to "several". Lynn and his team were also criticised for errors with clock management... once again, change "criticised".
- Now amended.--Harper J. Cole (talk) 22:11, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Los Angeles overhauled their offensive line in the offseason, after the unit was perceived to have performed poorly in 2020... remove the comma. Starters Dan Feeney, Forrest Lamp, Sam Tevi and Trai Turner were either waived or allowed to leave in free agency... make it "Sam Temi, and Irai Turner". Former Steelers left guard Matt Feiler signed for three years on the same day, and Oday Aboushi, who had spent the past two seasons at Detroit, was brought in shortly afterwards to play right guard... change it to afterward instead of afterwards.
- Now amended.--Harper J. Cole (talk) 22:12, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"17th regular season game", "tied with Jonathan Taylor for the league high", "With a pair of two point conversions", "This policy played a role in several early season wins"... add hyphens between the bolded phrases. NSNW (talk) 21:10, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Now amended. Harper J. Cole (talk) 18:00, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good. I will pass the article now. NSNW (talk) 21:43, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
