Los Angeles Chargers Daily Links: Gus Bradley’s defense carries the Bolts to victory

Refocused, NFL Wild Card Round: Los Angeles Chargers 23, Baltimore Ravens 17 - PFF Analysis Team
Veteran edge defender Melvin Ingram III had a spectacular game against the Ravens. He was the best Chargers defender on the field. While Ingram made plenty of plays rushing the passer and even sacked Jackson twice, and he was even more impressive against the run.

Michael “Money” Badgley sure did live up to his nickname today.

Chargers Finally Giving Philip Rivers Clear Road to Elusive Super Bowl Title - Brad Gagnon
This team might not have a LaDainian Tomlinson-type player, but the Bolts teams that won five AFC West titles in a six-year span last decade often didn't feel as though they had the mental fortitude that exists with this year's group.
