The Chargers Must Win Today
The Associated Press: Chargers, Bucs collide with playoff implications.
Think good thoughts!!!
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Forget all the potential tiebreaker scenarios and what others teams need to do to help the cause. It’s not difficult to figure out what the San Diego Chargers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers must do to stay in the race for playoff berths.
The division winners from a year ago have followed different paths to contention, but both desperately need to win Sunday at Raymond James Stadium to bolster chances of advancing to the postseason again.
In San Diego’s case, it’s beat the Bucs (9-5) or the chase is over. Even then, the Chargers (6-8) need Buffalo to beat Denver later in the day to set up a showdown with the Broncos for the AFC West title next week.
“We’ve got to win or we can forget it,” Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said.
