Week 8 NFL Power Rankings

Andre Ellington

3. San Diego Chargers (LW: 2)

San Diego’s win streak finally came to an end against division rival Kansas City, but I won’t hold it against them too much. The issue is we thought that this Chargers team was different from the one in recent years, as this year they were beating teams they’re supposed to. They were supposed to beat Kansas City at home.

What to know: San Diego has ascended to the top of the AFC by making a habit out of winning the time of possession battle. The Chargers had the ball on offense for just 21 minutes Sunday, their second-lowest time of possession in a game in the last 10 seasons (ESPN Stats & Info)
