Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley realizes that he needs a healthy defense this year if he is going to challenge the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West. Led by All-Pro quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs offensive juggernaut is hard enough to stop when everyone is healthy. No single Charger player will be more important to keep healthy than safety Derwin James. A first round draft pick in 2018, the 24-year-old James had a terrific rookie season, recording 105 tackles, 3.5 sacks,...

The Los Angeles Chargers have decided and informed tight end Hunter Henry that they will not apply the franchise tag to Henry, which will allow him to become an unrestricted free agent and sign with any NFL team. The franchise tag is a designation a team can apply to a player scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent. The tag binds the player to the team for one year if certain conditions are met. But the franchise tag is expensive. Last season, Henry played under the franchise tag and...

The Green Bay Packers, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Indianapolis Colts were the only other teams ranked in the top ten on both defense and offense. All three were playoff teams. The Chargers...

The Los Angeles Chargers have finally found a formula for winning football games and while it is too late to save the season and possibly some jobs, it should give the Chargers some momentum going into the 2021 season. The Chargers won their third game in a row last Sunday, defeating the Denver Broncos, 19-16, in the final game of the season at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The Chargers ended the season with a 4-4 record at home. With their third consecutive victory, the Chargers improved to 6-9 fo...
1.

While much of the early off-season discussion regarding the Los Angeles Chargers has involved quarterback Philip Rivers, there needs to be an equal amount of discussion revolving around the defensive unit of the Chargers, which regressed last season under defensive coordinator Gus Bradley. In 2019, the Chargers ranked last in the NFL in takeaways at 14. As a comparison, the Pittsburgh Steelers led the NFL in takeaways with 38. The New England Patriots were second with 36. The Chargers ranked...
Bye Week meant a little more as the Los Angeles Rams wasted little time in moving forward following Sunday's 24-10 victory over the hapless and winless Cincinnati Bengals at Wembley Stadium in London, England last Sunday. The team traded cornerback Aqib Talib to the Miami Dolphins before Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. The five-time Pro Bowler is on the injured reserve list since fracturing his ribs in the Rams 30-29 loss to the Seattle Seahawks during Week 5. The trade was a continuation of the...
Hall of Fame Coach Bill Parcells once said, "There is winning and then there is misery." For the Los Angeles Chargers, there has been a lot of recent misery. The Chargers, losers of five of their last six games, traveled to Chicago in desperate need of a win to keep their fading playoff hopes alive. What they found was Lady Luck in the form of the Chicago Bears. The Chargers finally got a break when Bears kicker Eddy Pineiro missed a game winning 41-yard field goal attempt, giving the Chargers...
The Chargers were less than a yard away from turning their season around. They just needed 18 inches to win a football game. As head coach Anthony Lynn would later state: "I've never been in a ballgame like that before." Maybe not, but the Chargers have had some bad losses over the years and this one ranks among the worst. In a stunning array of events, the Chargers managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in a 23-20 loss in Nashville to the Tennessee Titans. Trailing 23-20 late in the...
Who's House? Certainly not the Rams House. For second consecutive game the Los Angeles Rams were completely outshined at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. This past Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers further exposed the Rams, 20-7, two weeks after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers treated Los Angeles like a rag doll on the United Airlines Field turf, 55-40. For the first time in the Sean McVay era, the Rams have lost three consecutive games and look like a team that doesn't know how to win. The offense...
For the first time as the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers, Anthony Lynn looked flustered. He had no answers for the performance of his team. For the second straight week, the Chargers had fallen behind 14-0 in the first quarter at home. For the second straight week, the Chargers were down at halftime by three scores. For the second straight week, the Chargers had failed to score any offensive points in the first three quarters of the game. The Chargers, for the second consecutive week, we...
The NFL is getting interesting, especially for the Chargers and the Rams. Both teams are in third place in their divisions but the problem is there are only four teams in their division. The Chargers are having trouble on offense and the Rams are having misfortunes on defense. There are 16 weeks in the regular NFL season and every week is an important game for teams trying to make the playoffs. This week the 3-2 Rams play the unbeaten San Francisco 49ers at the Coliseum at 1 p.m. on Sunday and...
Don't look now folks... but the undefeated San Francisco 49ers are bringing their winning brand to the L.A. Memorial Coliseum this Sunday to take on a wayward Los Angeles Rams team. After losing 30-29 on a missed Greg Zuerlein field goal to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football, the third place Rams are suddenly searching for that dynamic offense that shook up the NFL for the past two seasons under head coach Sean McVay. "The important thing for us is obviously this isn't where we...
