The Los Angeles Chargers have dealt with big injuries all season. What happened in the early games in Week 18, with the Chargers locking up the No. Staley played the Chargers' starters in the first half and it turned out about as poorly as you'd expect. Staley came to the Chargers last season with the reputation of being a forward thinker, and was ridiculed for some of his extremely aggressive fourth-down decisions. Staley seemed indecisive on everything this season, though he navigated the injuries to get the Chargers to the playoffs.

The Denver Broncos have lost three starters in four days.

“We're still learning each other as a whole new system,” Wilson said after the Broncos grinded out an 11-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. “That’s a Super Bowl caliber football team on the other side,” said Russell Wilson, who improved to 17-4 against San Francisco and 9-2 against Kyle Shanahan. The Broncos' only sustained drive was a 12-play, 80-yarder that included a 12-yard scramble by Wilson and a 19-yard dart to Courtland Sutton at the San Francisco 5. Bradley Chubb sacked Garoppolo for a 12-yard loss to the San Francisco 3. UP NEXTThe 49ers host the Rams on Monday night, Oct. 3, and the Broncos visit the Raiders on Sunday.

(AP Photo/Jack Dempsey)DENVER – New kicker Stephen Gostkowski avoided a disastrous debut with the Tennessee Titans in the nick of time. The Titans escaped Denver with a 16-14 victory Monday night on Gostkowski’s 25-yard field goal with 17 seconds left after he’d missed four kicks, one in each quarter. Gostkowski missed three field goals: wide left, wide right and a block, and he missed an extra point. And Gostkowski became the first kicker to miss three field goals and a PAT in the same game since Mason Crosby missed four field goals and a PAT for the Packers against the Lions in 2018.
