The Chargers didn't get the results around the league they needed to clinch a playoff spot Sunday but can do so with a win in New England.

The Broncos had their best shot to get it done against the Chargers but they blew it in epic fashion. Now their playoff hopes are toast.

I was thinking (more so hoping) that they finally turned a page in the run game and could now be a team that dominates time of possession and abuses opposing front sevens. I was still feeling that way during the second drive.

The Los Angeles Chargers didn’t get the outside help needed to clinch a playoff berth last week despite taking down the Denver Broncos in primetime. But the Chargers can control their own playoff fate in Week 17.
