MIKE WILLIAMS

COSTA MESA, Calif. — (AP) — Brandon Staley remained steadfast he would remain head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers despite plenty of speculation about his future. In reviewing the Jacksonville loss, Staley didn't point to one play but a series of plays, penalties or not converting in key situations. Staley's immediate task will be finding an offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach after Joe Lombardi and Shane Day were fired. The Chargers were ranked ninth in total offense, but 20th in scrimmage yards per play, along with the league's third-worst rushing attack. One thing that Staley closed the door on was having someone else call the plays on defense.

Brandon Staley’s status that he would remain coach of the Los Angeles Chargers was a source of debate among fans and commentators during the past two weeks.

Brandon Staley will be back for a third season as the Los Angeles Chargers head coach.

The Rams got their lead man back, the Raiders had a player snubbed from the All-Pro team and a few injuries are really going to hurt the AFC playoff race. The Rams could have not played this season and ended up in the exact same situation that they’re in right now. However, McVay is back, which really benefits the Rams as they start to shape what the next era of what their franchise looks like. Brandon Staley really hurt the ChargersStar wide receiver Mike Williams is officially out for the Chargers' playoff opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which was a totally avoidable outcome. Williams suffered a fracture in his back and will likely be out for the Chargers' playoff run.

After undergoing additional testing, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams has been downgraded to out for Saturday's wild-card playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Los Angeles Chargers announced on Friday that wide receiver Mike Williams will not play in Saturday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars because of a back injury. According to multiple reports, Williams has a fracture in his back. Initial MRI and X-Rays didn't reveal the injury, but further testing did ahead of Friday's announcement, NFL Network and ESPN report. The Chargers didn't confirm the specifics of Williams' injury, but noted that he's remaining in Los Angeles to receive further treatment while his teammates travel to Jacksonville for the game. Williams sustained the injury in Week 18's loss to the Denver Broncos, a game that had no bearing on the Chargers' playoff circumstances.

Here's all you need from a betting perspective on the Chargers-Jaguars game, from the point spread, moneyline, total Over/Under and expert pick from Jason McIntyre

Justin Herbert and Trevor Lawrence make their playoff debuts on Saturday night in what could be the best game of wild-card weekend.

Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers will be traveling to Jacksonville to take on Trevor Lawrence and the AFC South champion Jaguars. While their legacies still have to be ironed out over the next decade, what makes this game intriguing is the fact that Lawrence and Herbert have already arrived into NFL stardom. In some ways, Lawrence and Herbert mirror each other on the field. The Jaguars finished the season 9-8 after starting off the season 2-6 — Lawrence deserves a huge chunk of credit for that turnaround. Wild-card weekend is delivering a game with two of them right at the start of the weekend.

This is huge considering the Chargers' torrid injury history this season. Williams' injury initially looked bad when he had to be carted off the field in the second quarter and then reportedly had to be helped out of the locker room and onto the team bus. ESPN's Lindsey Thiry later reported Williams suffered back spasms and his initial MRI came back negative. Williams also missed a Week 4 game in 2019 with a back injury. He suffered another back injury in Week 14 of the 2020 season but didn't miss any games.

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.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson turned in the best catch of the 2022 NFL season ... for a few weeks. Williams' grab came with 1:26 left in the second quarter as the Chargers took on the Los Angeles Rams. It was, at the very least, good enough to enter the conversation for the best catch of the 2022 NFL season. Was Mike Williams' catch really better than Justin Jefferson's catch? Williams' grab wasn't as clutch, but he had to tip-toe the sideline.

Justin Herbert, in his third NFL season, finally gets a chance to play in the postseason. How far can he take the Chargers?

The Chargers got downfield in 32 seconds for Cameron Dicker's game-winning field goal that now leaves L.A. in control of its playoff destiny.

Justin Herbert's pass to Mike Williams set up Cameron Dicker's 43-yard field goal to help the Los Angeles Chargers defeat the Tennessee Titans, 17-14.

No surprise, as this was the first game all season that Mike Williams and Keenan Allen started and finished together all season. His resume hasn’t gotten there just yet this season because he’s had to play with a bunch of reserve players on offense. However, for the bottom-line results to come through, football is still a team game. With Herbert's guys around him in Week 14, he produced the type of results he's always been talented enough to create. Let's just be honest about the players he's working with right now.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — (AP) — Justin Herbert threw for 367 yards and a touchdown and a short-handed Chargers defense got the best of the Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa as Los Angeles beat Miami 23-17 on Sunday night. The Chargers (7-6) moved into position for the final AFC playoff berth, ahead of the New York Jets. The Chargers held Miami to 219 yards despite not having safety Derwin James, cornerback Bryce Callahan and defensive lineman Sebastian Joseph-Day because of injuries. Cameron Dicker kicked three field goals, including one from 29-yards that gave the Chargers a 23-14 advantage with 2:40 remaining. On second-and-4 from the Miami 41, Wilson fumbled while tackled by Chargers safety Alohi Gilman during a 6-yard gain.

Justin Herbert threw for 367 yards and a touchdown and a short-handed Chargers defense got the best of the Dolphins’ Tua Tagovailoa as Los Angeles beat Miami 23-17.

Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers picked up a crucial win over the Miami Dolphins 23-17 on Sunday night behind 367 passing yards and a touchdown.

Maybe our defensive look-aheads helped you last week (Miami might tee off on Houston), but the field players were underwhelming. Even after the Tuesday night waiver run, Robinson is unclaimed in about 86 percent of Yahoo leagues. Elijah Moore vs. Chicago (DFS salary $10)It feels like five years ago, but Moore had some moments in the first month of the year. Josh Palmer at Arizona (DFS salary $22)Palmer’s scouting profile has always been ordinary, but the Chargers need him in their current plans. Falcons (DFS salary $12)Tight end is gross, no getting around it.

Mahomes hit Kelce on a short crossing route that Kelce took to the end zone for a 17-yard touchdown, concluding a six-play, 75-yard drive that took just 1:15. The Chargers had pulled ahead 27-23 on Justin Herbert’s 6-yard touchdown pass to Joshua Palmer with 1:46 left. Kelce scored at least three touchdowns for the second time in his career. Kelce's 32-yard touchdown on the opening play of the fourth quarter put the Chiefs on top 23-20. Chargers: Return to the road to face the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday.

Patrick Mahomes connected with Travis Kelce for their third touchdown of the game with 31 seconds remaining, and the Kansas City Chiefs rallied past the Los Angeles Chargers 30-27 to stay atop the AFC.

Week 11 of the NFL continued with the Chiefs coming out with a big win on Sunday Night Football. Here are the top plays!

Aaron Rodgers has won plenty of games throughout his career so it’s no surprise he’s been successful on Thursday nights, going 11-5.

We have a six-team bye week on our hands, an absolute fantasy football nightmare. He entered the week with an aDOT of just 5.8 yards, so it's not as if he's seeing high-yield downfield chances. Moore is clearly an explosive talent — he averaged 108.2 scrimmage yards per game at Purdue — and he's now seeing 6-8 targets per game. This week, L.A. gets an exceedingly friendly matchup with Atlanta's defense, a group that's allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wideouts. The Ravens then head to a much-needed Week 10 bye, so Drake is simply a short term patch for your running back problems.

There were several high-profile injuries during the Seahawks’ game against the Chargers on Sunday at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Chargers receiver Mike Williams rolled his ankle when his cleats were down in the turf, too, and is now out for several weeks. Those are far from the only injuries to happen on turf around the league, or even at SoFi Stadium. Seahawks safety Quandre Diggs joined Carroll this week, and even called out SoFi Stadium's turf specifically. Kupp, however, wouldn’t say if he felt that SoFi Stadium’s turf — where he’s played for years now — was better or worse than others.

After a spate of injuries at Sofi Stadium on Sunday, Seattle Seahawks players and head coach Pete Carroll are renewing calls for natural turf at all NFL stadiums. He told reporters on Wednesday that he would "pound the drum" to have natural grass installed in NFL stadiums. "So you see that and you just kind of wonder: Why can't we have natural grass everywhere?" Yesterday, reps from the NFL, NFLPA, MetLife Stadium, #Giants & #Jets, Field Turf & independent field inspector conducted another review of the field surface at MetLife Stadium. And until and if it does, he called for natural grass in every NFL stadium.

Falling 37-23 to the Seattle Seahawks, the team now approaches a bye without cornerback J.C. Jackson and wide receiver Mike Williams, who were both injured in the losing effort. The knee injury that Chargers’ CB J.C. Jackson sustained Sunday is in fact a season-ending injury, per HC Brandon Staley. After head coach Brandon Staley addressed the media Monday, we now know that the injury was a season-ending dislocated knee cap. Mike Williams ankle 😨😨 pic.twitter.com/E4fwWyqdKB — Jason McIntyre (@jasonrmcintyre) October 23, 2022Herbert, who has returned to the field while managing his own rib injury, isn't just missing Williams on offense. The team also lost starting left tackle Rashawn Slater to a season-ending bicep injury.

We might need to add Pat Surtain to the group of exceptional cornerbacks fantasy managers MUST account for. Week 3: I'm counting Brandon Aiyuk here because he saw more of Surtain and Deebo Samuel was playing some running back. He caught three balls on eight targets for 39 yards and a score but was 0-for-5 in Surtain's coverage. Week 4: Davante Adams had a big game with nine catches on 13 targets for 101 yards. Week 6: Mike Williams caught two passes on six targets for 17 yards and was 0-for-4 when Surtain was covering him.

Can we finally start Tony Pollard.

Dustin Hopkins kicked four field goals, including a 39-yarder with 2:38 remaining in overtime, and the Los Angeles Chargers rallied for a 19-16 victory over the Denver Broncos.

Two construction workers working on a bridge between New Jersey and Pennsylvania were killed by a PATCO Speedline train on the New Jersey side.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley's gamble didn't hurt the team in the end of their 30-28 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Patrick Mahomes threw two touchdown passes, rookie Jaylen Watson returned an interception 99 yards for the go-ahead fourth-quarter score, and the Kansas City Chiefs held on to beat the Los Angeles Chargers 27-24.

Williams was in a big spot for Thursday night's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Allen and Williams are a 1a and 1b in the Chargers' passing game, but Allen is usually the more reliable stat compiler from week to week. On Thursday night, Williams was fantastic, and had a breathtaking touchdown. They signed him to a three-year, $60 million extension before he hit free agency this past offseason. On Thursday night, Williams was worth that deal.

Two people with knowledge of the deal say the Seattle Seahawks are expected to sign DK Metcalf to a three-year contract extension worth up to $72 million and $58 million guaranteed.

Gov. Ron DeSantis announced $10 million for Florida’s eight Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) teams to support operations and training exercises to ensure that they are ready to respond immediately in the event of a disaster.

Baltimore has more than a dozen players on injured reserve and several more on the COVID-19 list. Cincinnati got back CB Chidobe Awuzie from the COVID-19 list, but also had to place two defensive linemen, D.J. There were 18 players on the active and practice squad rosters — including injured reserve — on the COVID-19 list Saturday.

He passed for 382 yards and rushed for 90, the most by a Chargers QB in a game. Los Angeles took over at the 25 and scored four plays later when Herbert found Williams between the cornerback and safety. Williams, who had 97 yards on five catches, caught the ball at the Steelers 36-yard line and went untouched up the left sideline.

The Los Angeles Chargers have fired coach Anthony Lynn less than two seasons after he led the franchise to the AFC divisional round. (AP Photo/Kelvin Kuo, File)COSTA MESA, Calif. – A four-game winning streak at the end of the season wasn't enough to save Anthony Lynn's job with the Los Angeles Chargers. Lynn led the franchise to the playoffs in 2018 but Los Angeles had losing records the last two seasons. Hired by the Chargers in January 2017, Lynn was the first Black head coach in franchise history and had one year remaining on his contract.

I think theres a lot of teams in the league right now that are dealing with all kinds of injuries.He's right. Teams all over the league were sent scrambling during camp. Certainly not during training camp when players are going hard to make the roster as the start of the regular season rolls closer. It's the soft tissue injuries and those things that you are trying to prevent with the ramp-up period," Bitonio said. That will certainly be something to monitor as the regular season begins and teams deal with injuries and potential replacements.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Mayor Lenny Curry said Tuesday he was not surprised that Sheriff Mike Williams warned Monday that the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is not prepared to provide adequate security for the Republican National Convention. “He knows what he’s talking about clearly, so the position he takes is we are not prepared for this right now.

Ten years ago, when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, 60 Minutes put a large team of about 20 staff members on the assignment. One producer, Nicole Young, went searching -- by boat and helicopter -- for spilled oil, which hadn't made landfall in the Gulf yet. Another producer, Michael Karzis, was tasked with learning the science of oil rigs and deepwater drilling. But it was one of the youngest members of the team who found the remarkable oil rig worker named Mike Williams. Williams' interview also shed new light on the causes of the explosion.

Williams said the Sheriff’s Office was utilizing state and regional partners and “every resource we can get” to find the children. “We’ve got a heavy focus in the trailer park today, and, obviously, it’s extended into the wooded area,” Williams said.
