The Chargers are trying to bounce back from a 4-12 season in which they went winless in the AFC West. They were the worst at yards per carry, 3.5. Tunsil was projected as a top 10 pick, but just before the draft a video of Tunsil smoking out of a bong fashioned out of a gas mask was posted onto his Twitter account.

Bosa should bring an immediate upgrade to the Charger defense in run-stoppage and attitude.
“Both men did everything we asked of them”, Bears general manager Ryan Pace said. “We had Joey No. 1 on our board, probably since September”.
You know what? For the first time in a long time, the Browns actually seem to have a plan, one that might, over time, pay dividends. It tells you that, yeah, it’s important.

Fortunately we’ve got a bunch of games that are in the Midwest this year, so I’ll be able to leave Columbus on Saturdays and fly to Kansas City and Nashville and wherever we are, ” she said.
