Los Angeles Chargers coach Anthony Lynn is more than pleased to have Philip Rivers as his quarterback. Lynn would be equally happy for that to continue to be the case beyond the 2019 season.

The Los Angeles Chargers gave 13 players first-round grades in this year’s NFL Draft. When you own the 28th overall pick, as the Chargers did, that isn’t exactly a source of comfort.

INDIANAPOLIS — Nick Bosa followed a long, challenging road to recovery from the core-muscle injury that cut short his football career at Ohio State.

Veteran defensive tackle Corey Liuget would like nothing better than to figure out a way to remain with the Chargers, who have proven Philip Rivers behind center and are coming off a playoff season.

It was about a month ago when things were looking bleak for the Baltimore Ravens. Their starting quarterback, Joe Flacco, was out with a hip injury. Although first-round draft pick Lamar Jackson represented what the team hoped would be a long-term solution at quarterback, pushing him onto the field then carried the risk of being too much too soon for the rookie.

Maybe losing to the Baltimore Ravens was exactly what the Los Angeles Chargers needed as they get ready for the postseason.

As happy as Kansas City Chiefs outside linebacker Dee Ford is with team and individual accomplishments, he’s equally pleased to know that standout Chiefs safety Eric Berry is back in the lineup after missing the first 14 weeks of the season with an Achilles injury.

Before the Los Angeles Chargers’ offense took the field with 2:37 left on the clock and the Kansas City Chiefs holding a 28-21 lead at Arrowhead Stadium Thursday night, Mike Williams turned to fellow receiver Travis Benjamin and made a prediction. It came true.

The original plan was to ease Joey Bosa back into the Los Angeles Chargers’ lineup, limiting his appearances to third downs. That went out the window last week, when the defensive end returned from injury and wound up playing 31 snaps against the Denver Broncos.
