NFL Power Rankings, Week 12: Rams bounce back with win over Bears

21. Los Angeles Chargers (19) (Play Monday Night)
Just when the Los Angeles Chargers were putting together a solid winning streak, the team came up short in Week 10 to the Oakland Raiders, putting even more pressure for the team to come through on Monday night.
After earning one of the Wild Card spots in the AFC last season, the Chargers were expected to be a serious threat in the conference once again for 2019 since the talent was there to work with on both sides of the football.
Through 10 games, Los Angeles has been one of the biggest disappointments of the regular season, and time seems to be running out on Philip Rivers being able to prove himself worthy of still being the starter on offense.
One of the main factors that stood out the most in the recent loss to the Raiders was how Rivers’ arm strength is far from what it used to be, and the Chargers could face a difficult decision once the offseason arrives when it comes to whether he’s worth keeping around.
But instead of looking that far ahead, the main focus at the moment for Los Angeles is making sure they compete with Kansas City on Monday in front of a national audience.
