    2019 Post Wk 11 Power Rankings and Ratings

    Not much of a change after the loss...

    Frank Schwab - Yahoo Sports 20 (LW 21)


    That final interception from Philip Rivers was brutal. He had four interceptions on Monday night. We all know he’s nearing the end, and maybe more quickly than we expected.

    The Chargers had a classic "Chargers" loss Monday night, as they outplayed their opponent, yet found a way to lose. This time, it was Philip Rivers' four interceptions, caused, in part, by three missing offensive linemen.

    In the midst of a three-game winning streak, the Raiders are flying up the NFL pecking order. Meanwhile, the Texans are heading in the other direction after a blowout loss. Dan Hanzus updates his Power Rankings.


    Philip Rivers has enjoyed many amazing games in his Hall of Fame-worthy career. Monday night was not one of them. The veteran quarterback threw four interceptions, including the game-deciding end zone pick in the final minute of a 24-17 loss to Chiefs that all but extinguishes the Bolts' playoff hopes a week before Thanksgiving. At 4-7 with all seven losses by seven points or fewer, Los Angeles' only realistic path to postseason football involves winning out and getting plenty of help. In other words, prospects are bleak. Much will be made of Rivers' meltdown; his seven interceptions in the past two weeks and 14 overall this season, a total that trails only Jameis Winston for the NFL "lead." Is the 37-year-old finally showing his age? Are we watching the final games of Rivers' Chargers career? Uncertain times for the Bolts.

    They are basically done with the loss to the Chiefs. Now comes the major question: Is this it for Philip Rivers?

    The Bears aren’t the only team that blew it by passing on Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson.

    The Chargers went into Monday night desperate for a win in Mexico City to keep alive their fading hopes of an AFC playoff return. So much for Philip Rivers playing better now that the running game and defense have come alive — seven interceptions in two weeks won't cut it.

    The Baltimore Ravens are emerging as the best team in the AFC, while the Philadelphia Eagles missed a golden opportunity at home.


    Philip Rivers might need to spend more time with his nine kids.

    Philip Rivers had never been picked off seven times over a two-week stretch until now. What a horrid year for 2004 QB draft class.

    Most underrated player: Derek Watt, FB

    Although he has seen limited snaps at fullback, the Wisconsin product has been an impact player on special teams. Entering Monday's contest against the Chiefs, Watt is leading the Chargers in special-teams tackles with 13. Watt also is 3-of-4 on converting third-and-1 rushes this season. -- Eric D. Williams

      A tough game for Philip Rivers, who threw four interceptions in the thin Mexico City air. It puts him second for most interceptions thrown this season (14) behind Jameis Winston—a position no QB wants to be in.

      A common saying is that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. The Chargers offense is living proof of this definition. The Chargers had near total control for the whole first half but went into halftime trailing because of turnovers and many miscues, which continued into the second half as the Chiefs offense woke up. The Chargers remained in the contest by the sheer will of trying to push past their own setbacks, but doing that is far from an effective way to win games. Time for the bye.

      We may be watching the end of an era for the Los Angeles Chargers.

      Veteran quarterback Philip Rivers is in the final year of his contract. If the last two games are any indication of what the 37-year-old has left, he won't get another one. Not as a starter.

      For the second consecutive game, Rivers was awful—this time on Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs. He threw four interceptions in a game the Chargers outgained the Chiefs by over 200 yards in the first half.

      Rivers should have had five picks—he put up a wounded duck that Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu dropped.

      It's the story of the Chargers' season: The team stays close and then loses in heartbreaking fashion. All seven Chargers losses have been one-score defeats.

      This team was picked to win the AFC West by more than a few pundits—including the NFL writers here at Bleacher Report. It wasn't an outlandish prediction after Los Angeles went 12-4 last year.

      That playoff team is long gone. It's been replaced by a pitching, lurching mess of a squad that flatly refuses to get out of its own way.

      I wrote last week in this space that ‘Philip Rivers looks old’. His four interception performance in Mexico City on Monday Night made him look even older.

      Another week, another neon sign pointing to the fact that the Chargers’ pass protection unit is among the worst in the league and Philip Rivers is no longer capable of bailing out the offense while under pressure. Under pressure against the Chiefs, Rivers completed 6-of-15 passes for 74 yards and two interceptions. Making plays under pressure had been a strength for Rivers in recent seasons, but now that it has become a definitive weakness, the Chargers offense as a whole is in trouble.

          Okay, I'm going to throw this out here ...

          after a few days of depression I started looking at the wild card teams and a lot of them play one another and can end up 8-8 (even the 7-3 Bills have a brutal final 6 games and can end up 8-8)

          so ... we have the bye, we aren't a horrible team as witnessed by all the close games ...

          perhaps the bye, the frustration, Rivers plays lights out, and possible luck gets us on a roll and we win all the close games and end up 9-7 and get a wild card playoff spot??
