The Chargers defeated the Dolphins in a statement win that renewed their playoff hopes. Can they pick up another critical win Sunday against the Titans?
“Nobody thought we were going to win, right?” linebackersaid. “In a lot of ways, that was a must win for us, and we didn’t have close to our best recipe. That’s why the locker room afterward was so special.”
They had the same 7-6 record as the seventh-seeded New England Patriots and the ninth-seeded New York Jets. The Chargers were a game behind the Dolphins for the No. 6 spot. “If we weren’t in the playoff conversation, it doesn’t really matter that we’re getting hot right now,” Tranquill said. “But if we can continue to play good defense, it means everything.”What the Chargers did to the Dolphins was what they were expected to do this season. It just took until Week 14.
Injuries didn’t help but a lack of execution more significantly led to a continued inability to stop the run and seize games there to be taken. Then the Chargers grabbed Miami by the throat and wouldn’t let go.
