Will the Chargers have enough quality players on the market left to spend their money on? A lot of good players flying off the shelf!

The usually-unflappable Chiefs just panic-farted.

The Buccaneers had 8 DNPs on their Thursday injury report. Of those 8, RB Bucky Irving, RT Tristan Wirfs, and WR Mike Evans were among them.

Any of those guys missing on Sunday would be a huge relief for the Chargers.

Per Mike Sando of The Athletic, the Chargers are the first team Kirk Cousins has faced that managed to pick him off four times while also keeping him from throwing any touchdown passes.

That's 160 games played and the Bolts were the first to do it.

J.K. Dobbins to ‘miss some time’ with knee sprain J.K. Dobbins has been on pace this season to record his first 1,000-yard rushing season of his career.

#Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins is expected to miss "some time" with a MCL sprain. He's already ruled out for this weekend's tilt with the Falcons and he'll be week-to-week going forward.

Dobbins sits just 40 yards and 2 TDs away from setting new career highs.

Chargers-Ravens Game Recap: Derrick Henry runs through Bolts in 30-23 loss on MNF John Harbaugh once again got the best of his younger brother as the Ravens dominated the Chargers at home in primetime.

Two-time MVP Lamar Jackson (3 total TDs) and fridge-turned-running back Derrick Henry (140 rushing yards) were too much for the Chargers defense as John Harbaugh stayed undefeated against little brother Jim.

Herbert is 4th in passing DVOA from Weeks 6-11 surrounded by some pretty good names.

He was 20th (!!) with -6.1% DVOA in the first five weeks of the season.

The strategy is working quite well.

The Chargers-Broncos matchup in Week 16 has been flexed to Thursday Night Football.

The first TNF flex in history. Chargers now have 5 primetime games this season after beginning the year with 3.

Harassment, racism, and engagement farming are not “a difference of opinion.”

Had a chance to talk about BlueSky on Pablo’s pod—and why the echo chamber argument mischaracterizes what’s actually going on.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey was estimated as a DNP on Thursday as team did go through a full practice.

Khalil Mack was listed as limited which is good news for the veteran who hasn't participated in a practice for two weeks.

The Denver Broncos are appearing to be an actually serious team We need to start taking the Broncos seriously... what a world.

The Broncos are exceeding expectations so they probably deserve more respect than they've been given.

@rjochoa.bsky.social and I dove into that and more in this week's Skinny Post.

Chargers-Bengals Game Recap: Bolts weather storm, score late to top Cincy 34-27 Justin Herbert led a game-winning drive in the final minute of regulation to help put away the Bengals 34-27 on Sunday Night Football.

The Chargers needed everyone and just about every extra snap they could find or themselves to beat the Bengals 34-27 on Sunday night.
It was a game where the same old, dusty narrative nearly made an unwanted appearance before the Bolts shut the door.
