To see Tampa Bay win ATS and SU for the second week straight would be unsurprising.

And when is the last time that happened?
The Chargers could easily be taken as being better than their record – they’ve led in all six of their losses, and in the second half of five of them. And considering the youth on their respective rosters, they could become annual playoff contenders. The Falcons, after playing the Chiefs, face the 4-7 Los Angeles Rams, the 1-10 San Francisco 49ers, the 4-7 Carolina Panthers and the Saints to end the season.
At any rate, it’s December.
“I just think we’re one of those teams that is starting to believe, ” coach Dirk Koetter said. “So we’re going to take 24 hours to celebrate and then get back to work”. And hey, that’s all great, but it doesn’t do anything for you on Sunday.
“I’ve been here for five years and this is the first time we’ve been playing meaningful football in December, so I can’t lie to you it is a great feeling, ” Tandy said. The team is two games over.500 this late in a season for the first time in six years and sitting atop the division standings through Week 13 for the first time since 2008, when a 9-3 start was followed a four-game season-ending slide that cost former coach Jon Gruden his job.
“Even in the games we’ve won, we’ve nearly given the opposition a chance to win the game”. He has 53 first downs and nine TDs, but no other Charger is contributing much out of the backfield at all, and San Diego averages just 3.8 yards per carry on the season. “We’ve got to keep reminding ourselves he’d be a senior in college right now”.
Koetter’s team has had most of its success on the road, where the team is 5-1.
“Yes I do”, McCoy said Monday, “without a doubt”. “But sometimes you have to make your own breaks and I think we made our own today”. “That guy’s a really good player”. “A lot of them ahead of us”. “Every game was a big game, and we all knew that”. “New Orleans is two games behind us with two games still to play and also one against Atlanta”.
The Buccaneers offense has been hit-or-miss this season as quarterback Jameis Winston continues to be inconsistent in his second season. I’ll go with SF here because there’s no way we can have a 1-15 team and a 0-16 team right? Because sometimes Jameis says things they wish they could say or wish they had it in them to say.
Let me start by saying that Casey Hayward is awesome. Leading them is quarterback Philip Rivers, who is fourth in the league on passing numbers and fifth for touchdowns passed.
While sifting through the aftermath of another loss, Chargers coach Mike McCoy made something clear: he wants to return next season.

Then he backed it up. On Sunday, for example, he lost his best blocking tight end, Luke Stocker, to an ankle injury and his No. 2 wide receiver, Cecil Shorts, to a knee injury in the first quarter.
