NFL Power Rankings, Week 10: Rams face plenty of pressure following bye week
By Dan Parzych
16. Los Angeles Chargers (21)
After pulling off an impressive win on the road over the Chicago Bears in Week 8, the Los Angeles Chargers were hoping to do the same on Sunday against a much tougher opponent in the Green Bay Packers.
When taking into consideration that Aaron Rodgers and company have been making a strong case for being a top team to beat within the NFC, another win by the Chargers would make a strong statement over this team still having life in the playoff race.
Turns out, this was exactly the case after Los Angeles put on quite an amazing defensive performance in their 26-11 win over Green Bay.
Between the defense keeping the Packers out of the end zone until the fourth quarter Mike Williams having a big game with three catches for 111 yards, the Chargers have plenty of reasons to be thrilled over this win.
With their next three games against division rivals, Los Angeles still has plenty of time to make a late run for the AFC West title, although it will be easier said than done since they currently trail the Kansas City Chiefs by two games.
At least by defeating the Packers, the Chargers made it clear the last thing anyone should do is rule this team out heading into Week 10 since there’s still plenty of football left to be played.
