Description

Los Angeles Chargers enter Week 18 with playoff seeding on the line and Justin Herbert set to rest, but can the "B squad" make history by sweeping the AFC West? Pete Fox, Kenjon Barner, and Jim Daniels break down the strategic impact of key injuries, playoff scenarios, and the critical debate of rest vs. rust for the Chargers' postseason push. With Denzel Perryman returning from suspension and the defense hungry to duplicate their dominant performance against the Kansas City Chiefs, all eyes are on how Brandon Staley’s squad will fine-tune before the playoffs.Key topics include playoff matchups against the New England Patriots or Jacksonville Jaguars, the pressure on Herbert to silence doubters, and whether young weapons like Quentin Johnston and Aronde Gadsden can deliver. The hosts also debate NFL rules, recent controversies around physicality, and what it will take for Los Angeles to shake off past playoff heartbreak and make a true Super Bowl run.
