No. 10: Vinnie IyerSporting News(Last Week: No. 11)
The Chargers and Justin Herbert, injured hand behind shaky offensive line and all, stayed strong through pressure and adversity to help the team grind out a much-needed overtime win over the Eagles on Monday night. They have good momentum for the rematch with the Chiefs.
No. 10: Frank SchwabYahoo Sports(Last Week: No. 13)
As it stands, it's still a very well-coached team with a star at quarterback. In a wide-open AFC, that might be enough to make a run.
No. 10: Dan WilkinstheScore(Last Week: No. 17)
No. 11:Ralph VacchianoFox Sports(Last Week: No. 14)
No. 11: Chad Graff & Josh KendallThe Athletic(Last Week: No. 15)
No. 11: Pete PriscoCBS Sports(Last Week: No. 18)
Given their daunting schedule, that might have been a season-saving win over the Eagles on Monday night. Justin Herbert showed a lot playing through the hand injury.
No. 11: Mike FlorioPro Football Talk(Last Week: No. 14)
They found a way on a night that didn't feel like it was going their way.
No. 12: Conor OrrSports Illustrated(Last Week: No. 14)
No. 12: Eric EdholmNFL.com(Last Week: No. 15)
The defense rose up time and time again, picking off Jalen Hurts four times, including the game-sealer just outside the end zone in overtime. Cameron Dicker remains the league's most underrated kicker, making five field goals, with three coming in the final eight minutes of regulation and overtime. Just a gutsy, ugly, chaotic victory for Jim Harbaugh's team, with style points absolutely unnecessary.
No. 12: Brent SobleskiBleacher Report(Last Week: No. 15)
An argument can be made that we have undersold the Chargers all season.
The Bolts just beat the reigning Super Bowl champions with a quarterback who had surgery on a broken hand a week ago. Their defense was fantastic, forcing five Jalen Hurts turnovers.
No. 12: Nate DavisUSA Today(Last Week: No. 19)
So many of their key players have been hit with injuries. But when you're led by tough guys like QB Justin Herbert and OLB Khalil Mack, who have shrugged off their own physical setbacks, and now have rookie RB Omarion Hampton back in the fold, then you're a team wired well to deal with late-season (and postseason) adversity.
