The Chicago Bears looked great with Caleb Williams back from injury. Chicago defeated Atlanta 31-23 in Week 6 to improve to 4-2 on the season. Now one former player is encouraging them to add reinforcements on defense before the trade deadline. Former Bears player Kyle Long made the case that Chicago should trade for Khalil […]

The Los Angeles Chargers may not need Tony Jefferson next season, but he's proving his worth on a game-to-game basis.
The Arrowhead Pride Mailbag examines whether the Chiefs’ 5-0 start is sustainable. After a modest 22-6 win over the Chargers, fans question wideout Rashee Rice’s health and future, with the outlet suggesting he’ll likely stay on a prove‑it deal despite free‑agency concerns, while Xavier Worthy’s recent 73‑yard performance offers a possible backup. Rookie pass rusher Mason Thomas is generating pressure but needs film study to translate that into sacks. Readers also wonder if Kansas City will trade for a receiver before the Nov. 10 deadline to bolster a thin receiving corps that still relies heavily on Travis Kelce and a still‑unproven Kenneth Walker. The piece forecasts at least one WR addition in the next month.
Entering their bye week, the Los Angeles Chargers rank tied for third in the NFL with 10 defensive takeaways, trailing only the Packers and Seahawks (11 each). Despite the strong turnover numbers, the Chargers remain winless, unlike the other teams in the group, which range from 5‑0 to 3‑3. The disparity highlights the Chargers' defensive strength versus a struggling offense, underscoring defensive coordinator Chris O’Leary’s impact. The post also links to power‑rankings, a depth chart, draft odds, and broader NFL news.
The Los Angeles Chargers, in all likelihood, will need to re-address the tight end position this offseason.

Former Chargers defensive end Isaac Rochelle blasts the LA offense after a 0‑6 start, saying Justin Herbert lacks the intensity once displayed under Philip Rivers. In a TikTok interview, Rochelle recalls Rivers demanding physical practice and argues that players like T.J. Watt and Aaron Rodgers now set the tone for their clubs, something the Chargers are missing under Jim Harbaugh. He also criticizes offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel and a porous offensive line that has allowed 21 sacks and the league‑worst turnover‑prone attack (6.7% PFF rate). With Herbert completing 22 of 37 passes for 204 yards and one interception against Kansas City, trade talk swirls as the team scrambles for answers.
The winless Los Angeles Chargers are poised for a major roster shake‑up before the Nov. 10 trade deadline, according to Casino.org’s Jason La Canfora. Veteran pass rusher Khalil Mack (35, one‑year, $18 M deal with a $10 M signing bonus) looks “as good as gone,” while Derwin James (30, three‑year, $75.6 M extension) may also be moved amid high demand for his versatile defense. At least one receiver, likely Quentin Johnston, is on the trade list. Even quarterback Justin Herbert’s future is questioned, though a trade would need his approval due to a no‑trade clause. Coach Mike McDaniel’s tenure is described as a “flop,” with speculation about Jim Harbaugh taking over play‑calling.
Mecole Hardman, a three‑time Super Bowl champion who most recently spent the 2025 season with Buffalo, joins the Indianapolis Colts’ practice squad, marking his first move since being released at the Bills’ roster cuts in August. The Colts also add veteran punter Thomas Morstead after an injury to Rigoberto Sanchez. Hardman appeared in just two games for the Bills last year, handling two punts and one kickoff. His reunion with former Chiefs speedster teammates is on hold as Kansas City navigates its own roster chatter, including Justin Watson’s practice‑squad elevation and ongoing trade rumors surrounding Tyreek Hill and Hollywood Brown.
The Cleveland Browns, 4-2 and atop the AFC North, are riding a stout defense but still need offensive firepower. Analyst proposes that if the Los Angeles Chargers ever consider moving franchise QB Justin Herbert, general manager Andrew Berry should offer a blockbuster package: the Browns’ 2027 and 2028 first‑round picks, a 2027 second‑rounder, plus quarterback prospect Shedeur Sanders. Herbert, under contract through 2029, could give head coach Todd Monken a vertical passing threat and relieve pressure on a struggling Deshaun Watson, while pairing well with receivers like Jerry Jeudy. The trade would sacrifice future draft capital and require careful cap management, but could elevate Cleveland’s offense to true Super Bowl contender status.
Kansas City remains in first place in the AFC West with a perfect 5-0 overall record, including an 3-0 record in the division.

Broncos Broncos HC Sean Payton was asked whether he plans to bench QB Bo Nix. “To answer your question, no,” Payton said, via PFT. “He’s going to become the byproduct of all the finer things that get improved.

The Los Angeles Chargers are 0-6, and their season is already looking like it is over. However, there could still be a reason for fans to watch closely as the losses pile up.

The Seattle Seahawks invite former SEC Defensive Player of the Year Kyle Kennard to a tryout after the Chargers waived him from injured reserve on Sept. 4. Kennard, a 2025 fourth‑round pick from South Carolina who won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, saw limited action in Los Angeles—five games and two tackles—as a rookie. Seattle, tied for the NFL’s fifth‑most sacks (16) this season, is exploring depth options beyond its established rotation, which includes Connor O’Toole and the recently lost Jared Ivey. The tryout highlights the Seahawks’ focus on developing low‑cost talent for their pass rush.
The Los Angeles Chargers saw a slight step back from much of their rookie class in Week 6.
Colin Cowherd calls the Kansas City Chiefs’ win over the Los Angeles Chargers the “opposite of their dynasty,” noting a rare Mahomes slump—no touchdowns and an interception—yet a 2‑score victory thanks to a stout defense and strong running game. Cowherd predicts the Chargers may fire OC Mike McDaniel and compares the Chiefs’ current third‑down and red‑zone struggles to past Patriots eras. Mahomes acknowledges the ugly win, stressing the importance of team defense. The unbeaten Chiefs (6‑0) now head to Seattle for Week 7.
Fans slam CBS for repeatedly cutting to Taylor Swift’s suite during the Chiefs’ 22‑9 victory over the Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium. The pop star, accompanied by WNBA star Caitlin Clark and Travis Kelce’s mother‑in‑law, drew both praise for her fashion—red lipstick, gold‑and‑ruby ring, and a Louis Vuitton bodysuit—and criticism for monopolizing screen time whenever Kelce made a catch. Social‑media reactions range from jokes about a dedicated Swift camera to calls for less celebrity focus, highlighting the clash between sports coverage and pop‑culture hype.
The Chargers are 0-6 after a 22-6 loss to the Chiefs in Arrowhead Stadium. The last time the Los Angeles Chargers started 0-6 was in 2000, when they finished 1-15. A season full of high expectations has gotten off to an unimaginably disappointing start. It’s hard to imagine the roster or staff won’t change in […]

Per Jason La Canfora, there will be a lot of chatter about Chargers S Derwin James Jr. ahead of the trade deadline. The Chargers are off to a surprising 0-6 start, and La Canfora notes the expectation is that they will have a “significant sell-off.” James is currently under contract through 2029, but La Canfora […]

In the post-Week 6 AFC West roundup, the Las Vegas Raiders continue their descent while the Chiefs dominate, Broncos climb back, and Chargers bottom out.
The Los Angeles Chargers hit a historic low with a 0-6 start—their worst opening stretch since 2000. Analysts from ESPN, USA Today, Bleacher Report, Yahoo Sports, The Athletic and Pro Football Talk all rank the team at the bottom of the league, citing a sputtering offense that averages just 15 points (30th) and 287 yards (26th) per game. Quarterback Justin Herbert leads the league in interceptions (eight) and holds the lowest QBR (29.9). New offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel and head coach Jim Harbaugh face mounting criticism as the Chargers head into a bye week with the Rams and Texans looming, while their defense remains the only bright spot at 9th in EPA per play allowed.
The Detroit Lions are at a huge crossroads headed into Week 7. Detroit is coming off their bye week after getting a much-needed win against Arizona in Week 5. Not only did the Lions win, but they dismantled the Cardinals and actually played some solid defense. That is exactly what Lions fans needed to see […]
