"This is just the beginning," Staley said. "This not our final goal we expected to be at...
1. Philadelphia Eagles (13-2): The Eagles just need to beat the Saints at home on Sunday to clinch the NFC East, earn the No. 1 seed in the NFC, get the wild-card playoff round bye and gain homefield advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.

Two weeks ago, at the end of Week 13 of the NFL season, the Los Angeles Chargers were 6-6 and coming off a loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. They were struggling to stay healthy and struggling to win football games. Two weeks later, after back-to-back wins over the Miami Dolphins and the Tennessee Titans, the Chargers are getting healthy and are on the verge of making the 2022 NFL playoffs. The 17-14 victory last Sunday over the Titans was not a thing of beauty, but it got the job done. In the...
1. Philadelphia Eagles (13-1): Quarterback Jalen Hurts has a right shoulder sprain and may miss the next game, which is Saturday against the Cowboy's in Jerry's House. Former Washington State quarterback Gardner Minshew is the backup quarterback, and he may get the start. That would be interesting if the Eagles could beat the Cowboys with Minshew at quarterback.

The Los Angeles Chargers entered SoFi Stadium last Sunday Night in desperate need of a win to stay in the AFC playoff race. The Chargers were 2-3 at home this season and coming off a loss to the Raiders. They were facing the 8-4 Miami Dolphins. At 6-6, another loss would be a setback in their quest to make the playoffs.

There is an old saying regarding the game of football. The game is often “won in the trenches.” That is true at every level of football. The Los Angeles Chargers are struggling at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball this season and the effect has made it hard for them to win games. This was clearly illustrated in the Chargers most recent loss, a 27-20 defeat this past Sunday at the hands of their AFC West division rival, the Las Vegas Raiders. The game was played at Allegiant Sta...
In a season that fell somewhat short of the team goals, the UCLA Bruins football team finished the season on a high note, beating the California Golden Bears in Berkeley, 35-28. The Bruins finish the season with a 9-3 record, their best regular season finish since the 2014 season, when the Bruins went 9-3 in the regular season and then went on to defeat the Kansas State Wildcats, 40-35, in the Alamo Bowl to end up 10-3 for the 2014 season. In the Cal game, the Bruins ran wild, rushing for 352...
The Los Angeles Chargers in 2022 are a work-in-progress. Each week has brought a different challenge, due to the personnel available and the challenge each opponent brings.

It all comes down to this game. Saturday at the Rose Bowl has finally arrived. The USC Trojans vs. the UCLA Bruins.

The Trojans, with a record of 9-1, started the...
It is tough to win football games when injuries occur, but in the NFL when an injury occurs the saying goes, "Next man up." The Chargers are testing that NFL theory this season with a rash of injuries. Last Sunday Night game in Santa Clara against the San Francisco 49ers, the injury riddled, and undermanned Chargers fought hard, but fell short in the end, losing 22-16 to the 49ers.

The Los Angeles Chargers are coming off their bye week and heading into Week 9 of the regular season with a 4-3 record and several key injuries to their top players. The Chargers could have used help at wide receiver or on the offensive line but were unable to strike a deal before the trade deadline on Tuesday at 1:00 PM. It can be difficult to find a trading partner and the price the Chargers would have paid in terms of draft capital and in salary cap space was likely to high for General...
When it comes to running fast, the UCLA Bruins football team is not lacking for speed. They have high school sprint champions in their backfield and even their quarterback, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, had a best time of 11.14 in the 100 meters in high school. They use the speed to put pressure on the opposing defenses. Then there is running back Zach Charbonnet. Charbonnet is not the fastest player in the Bruins backfield, but he is the best player in the backfield. On Saturday Night at the Rose...
1. Philadelphia Eagles (6-0): The rich get richer. The Eagle acquired pass rusher Robert Quinn from the Chicago Bears for a fourth-round draft pick in 2023. Quinn, 32, is a three-time Pro Bowler. With a top five offense and a top five defense, adding Quinn almost seems unfair. Next: -10.5 vs Pittsburgh Steelers – Sun, Oct. 30 – O/U: 43 (ATS: 4-2 – O/U: 3-3) 2. Buffalo Bills (5-1): The Bills are coming off a bye week with a deep squad and not much standing in their path to the AFC Champ...
Hall of Fame football Coach Bill Parcells once said, "You are what your record says you are." He might have made an exception with the 2022 Los Angeles Chargers, who are 4-3 after falling to the Seattle Seahawks, 37-23, in a game played last Sunday at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The 4-3 Chargers do not look like a team with a winning record at this point, especially after blowout losses at home to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Seahawks. The injury riddled Chargers fell behind 17-0 after one quarte...
1. Philadelphia Eagles (6-0): The Eagles have a +12-turnover ratio, which is a +8 better than the second-place team in that category.
