As for the Chargers, they sure have swagger, this year's No. 1-rated word. And they have those powder blues, the nicest-looking uniforms in sports. The Bolts are 30th in rushing yardage, but third in the most important offensive category: points. The same question for San Diego as for Minnesota: Who have they beaten? The Bolts have wins over the Giants, Eagles and Broncos, but it's not clear any of these clubs are headed to the postseason. Last season, San Diego went 1-5 against teams that reached the playoffs. After the Chargers face Dallas and Cincinnati this month, we'll know more.

My response to this

is that you can only play who’s on your schedule. I think the Chargers are playing as well as anyone in football right now, and there’s a good argument to be made that if we played again, we’d beat the Steelers and the Ravens.

Besides, most teams have losing records against playoff teams in the regular season. Last year’s Steelers were 3-4 against them. I don’t think the Cardinals beat any.

Interesting Stat

Cincinnati is 8-0 against teams located east of the Mississippi River and 0-3 versus teams to the west. Should the trend continue, Cincinnati would finish the season 10-6, with wins against Detroit and the New York Jets and losses to San Diego, Kansas City and Minneapolis (whose stadium is just west of the river).
