Two years ago, on January 17th, 2021, the Los Angeles Chargers hired Brandon Staley to become their new head coach. Staley was determined from the start to change the culture of the team, to find a way to overcome the culture of losing and failing. For the Chargers team they were trying to find a way to win close games. That process of change has hit several bumps in the road to this point. For the second straight year, the Chargers football season ended on a field goal with no time left on the...
The 2022 NFL regular season has finally ended after 18 weeks, and the Los Angeles Chargers are still alive and are headed for the playoffs. The Chargers are the fifth seed in the NFL playoffs out of the seven teams in the American Football Conference (AFC). The Chargers will face the Jaguars, the AFC 4th seed, on Saturday Night in Jacksonville. The Jaguars were 9-8 on the season and won the AFC South division. The Chargers finished the season with a 10-7 record, falling in their final game to...
1. Buffalo Bills (12-3): The Bills game against the Bengals was canceled after the collapse of safety Damar Hamlin after what appeared to be a routine tackle. Hamlin needed CPR and external defibrillation and was immediately transferred to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. It appears he will survive. The cancellation may end up causing changes in the AFC playoffs. Next: -7 vs New England Patriots - Sun, Jan. 8 – O/U: 41.5 (ATS: 7-7-1 – O/U: 5-10) 2. Kansas City Chiefs (13-3): The Chie...
Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler today was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week by the league office. It marks the first Offensive Player of the Week honor of his career. Ekeler scored twice in the team's 31-10 win over the Rams, continuing his two-season tear as the league's touchdowns leader. He led all AFC players in Week 17 in rushing yards (122), rushing touchdowns (two) and rushing average (12.2 yards per attempt) among players with at least 10 carries. He added four...
'Twas nearly a perfect jolly Hollywood Christmas at SoFi Stadium as the Los Angeles Rams rolled to a 51-15 crusher over the hapless visiting Denver Broncos last Sunday at SoFi Stadium. The Rams never looked better this season and now they hope to entertain a holiday sweep in Inglewood as they "go on the road" against the playoff-bound Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday, New Year's Day 2023 at SoFi Stadium. The circumstances are completely different than anticipated when the schedule was released...
Sometimes the road to the top of your profession can be a mysterious journey that will test your internal fortitude. Sometimes a strong belief in yourself and a strong belief that your employer has in you can help you finish that journey to the top. That's what has happened to Charger running back, Joshua Kelley. "It feels good," said Kelley, during an interview after a recent game at SoFi Stadium. "This year has been a really big year in terms of me being more confident and being myself out...
For the first time since the 2018 season, the Los Angeles Chargers are returning to the postseason. The Chargers defeated the Indianapolis Colts last Monday Night on the road, 20-3, to clinch a wild-card playoff berth in the 2022 AFC playoffs. Charger head coach Brandon Staley was thrilled with the victory, the third straight win for the Chargers, but assured fans that the Chargers were far from finished. "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. Next: -5.5 vs New Orleans Saints – Sun, Jan. 1 – O/U: 42 (ATS: 8-7 – O/U: 10-5) 2. Buffalo Bills (12-3): The Bills clinched their third consecutive AFC East title with a 35-13 beating of the Bears in Chicago. Remember when the Patriots use to dominate the A...
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. Next: +5.5 at Dallas Cowboys – Sat, Dec. 24 – O/U: 46 (ATS: 8-6 – O/U: 9-5) 2. Buffalo Bills (11-3): The Bills won a close match...
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. But fortunately for the Chargers, they have Justin Herbert at quarterback. Herbert pitched a masterpiece, completing 39 of 51 passes for 367 yards, and using a ball-control passi...
1. Philadelphia Eagles (12-1): The Eagles clinched a playoff berth with their blowout win over the Giants. The Eagles lead the NFL in sacks at 49 and in turnover ratio with a +14. With a top 5 offense and a top five defense, the Eagles are the early favorite to win it all. They also own a first-round pick from the Saints, currently the No. 4 overall in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Next: -9 at Chicago Bears – Sun, Dec. 18 – O/U: 48.5 (ATS: 8-5 – O/U: 9-4) 2. Buffalo Bills (10-3): The B...
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...
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. This past weekend, the Chargers were able to overcome a fourth quarter deficit and defeat the Arizona Cardinals on the road, 25-24. The win improved the Chargers record to 6-5. With 1:48 left in the game and the Chargers trailing 24-17, the Chargers had the ball at the Cardinal 38-yard line. A 20-yard punt return from...
The Los Angeles Rams are between a rock and a hard place. Every time you look up someone gets injured. Right now, there are currently 11 players on their injured list and that does not include receivers Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson. A perfect negative storm has hit the Rams camp. The defending Super Bowl Champions are 3-8 as they get ready to take on the 6-5 Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at 1 p.m. at So Fi Stadium in Inglewood. Can they win enough games to get back to .500 or will they continue t...
1. Kansas City Chiefs (8-2): Quarterback Patrick Mahomes just keeps on rolling each week. This week Mahomes completed 20 of 34 passes for 329 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 23 yards. Just another week for a great quarterback in a come-from-behind win over the Chargers, 30-27. Next: -15.5 vs Los Angeles Rams - Sun, Nov. 27 – O/U: 43 (ATS: 4-6 – O/U: 5-5) 2. Philadelphia Eagles (9-1): It took all sixty minutes, but in the end the Eagles were able to pull out a tough and har...
Some things never change. If the Kansas City Chiefs are playing the Chargers in Los Angeles, it is safe to predict that the game is going to be close, and it is going be a heartbreaking loss for the Chargers. Sunday’s game at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood was no exception as the Chiefs came from behind in the last minute of the game to beat the Chargers, 30-27. The Chiefs have never lost to the Chargers in Los Angeles. They are 6-0 against the Chargers in Los Angeles. The Chiefs have won nine s...
By Trent Rush, Media Relations, The Lott IMPACT® Trophy Tuli Tuipulotu of the University of Southern California has been named the Lott IMPACT® Trophy Player of the Week for the eleventh week of the 2022 college football season. Tuipulotu currently leads the nation in sacks and added 2.5 more in the Trojans 55-17 rout of Colorado. Tuipulotu also forced a fumble and broke up a pass with three total tackles in that game. The junior defensive lineman, from Hawthorne, California, is a semifinalist f...
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. With the loss the Chargers slipped to 5-4 for the season. The win improved the 49ers record to 5-4 for the season....
The injury riddled Los Angeles Chargers have had to fight and grind through victories while they try to overcome the plethora of injuries suffered this season. The emotional toll was on display in the Chargers come-from-behind 20-17 road victory over the Atlanta Falcons. A 37-yard field goal by recently signed kicker Cameron Dicker gave the Chargers a much-needed win in their fight to make the playoffs. After Dicker’s kick went through the uprights, the Chargers celebrated as if they had just wo...
1. Philadelphia Eagles (8-0): Running back Miles Sanders is quietly having a very good season with the Eagles. Sanders is 7th in the NFL in rushing yardage with 656 yards, he has six rushing touchdowns and is averaging 5.0 yards per carry. Next: -11 vs Washington Commanders – Mon, Nov. 14 – O/U: 44 (ATS: 5-3 – O/U: 5-3) 2. Buffalo Bills (6-2): The Bills have lost twice this season, and both losses are within the division. They have a one game lead in the division but are 0-2 within the divis...
1. Philadelphia Eagles (7-0): The Eagles lead the NFL in turnover margin with a +14. The closest team is the Cowboys with a +6 margin. The Eagles have a top 5 offense and a top 5 defense. They are clearly the team to beat in the NFC. Next: -14 at Houston Texans – Thu, Nov. 3 – O/U: 45 (ATS: 5-2 – O/U: 4-3) 2. Buffalo Bills (6-1): The Bills acquired Colts running back Nyheim Hines before the trade deadline. The Bills are sending back running back Zack Moss and a conditional 6th round pick in 20...
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...
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. The Eagles lead the NFL in turnovers caused with 14 and lead the NFL in fewest turnovers with two. Next: Bye – Following week: N/A vs Pittsburgh Steelers – Sun, Oct. 30 – O/U N/A (ATS: 4-2 – O/U: 3-3) 2. Buffalo Bills (5-1): With the Bills 24-20 win over the Chiefs at Kansas City, the Bills have the early season edge on homefield advantage over the Chiefs and the...
