Chargers fans are ALL-IN after third consecutive win

Chargers fans are ALL-IN after third consecutive win

Chargers fans hope Justin Herbert will continue to utilize his legs going forward.

We almost did it, everyone. We almost had 100 percent of SB Nation Reacts participants say that they were confident in the direction of the Chargers. But alas, there was probably just that ONE person who can’t help themselves from pessimistic.

What a bummer.

Anyhoo, we had two other additional questions in this weeks Reacts poll so let’s go ahead and take a look at the results for those.

First up, following Justin Herbert’s latest performance against the Titans where he supplemented the offense consistently with his...

Sadly, the ‘worst’ memories have piled up

Sometimes, our weekly Tuesday Community Question can serve as some therapy time.

Sometimes, it helps top talk it out and discuss the pain.

And, sadly, we know there has been long periods of pain for the great, passionate and faithful members of the Raider Nation.

The current situation, of course, for the franchise isn’t great, but there have been worse times for this fan base. Our Tuesday Community Question this week was what was your worst moment as a fan of the Raiders?

Unfortunately, there have been a lot of moments that are...

Raiders fan lose confidence during the bye week in the teams direction

The Las Vegas Raiders are getting ready to face the Miami Dolphins in Miami. The two teams almost have identical records and attempt to revive their seasons with a win.

Antonio Pierce changed the coaching staff and conducted a team meeting last week. The meeting didn’t end like last season with Josh McDaniels, but grievances were out in the open. It could be a turning point for a team on the brink of looking toward the draft, just like their fans.

In this week’s SB Nation Reacts, we...

Maxx Crosby still needs help

The Las Vegas Raiders had high hopes for their pass-rush going into the season with superstar Maxx Crosby and Malcolm Koonce leading the way.

But, of course, that plan suddenly evaporated when Koonce, who was outstanding in the second half of last season, tore his knee in practice three days before the season opener and was lost for the season.

The Raiders were left scrambling and they are still trying to figure it out with more than half the season over.

They began the post-Koonce season relying on young, inexperienced veterans Charles Snowden, Janarius Robinson...

Audric Estime could take the reins of Denver Broncos top running back spot

Audric Estime could take the reins of Denver Broncos top running back spot

This week against the Falcons, Audric Estime could take the reins of the Denver Broncos running back position.

The Broncos running game has struggled all year long to gain traction. Javonte Williams’ play has been up-and-down, Estime has provided some burst in limited carries, while even Marvin Mims ran multiple times last week.

After his best game yet, the Broncos rookie running back could enjoy a true breakout game against Atlanta.

Audric Estime could take the reins, become the new starting running back for Denver

The Denver Broncos offense this year has slowly but surely improved.

JuJu Smith-Schuster and DeAndre Hopkins are set to boost the offense 

JuJu Smith-Schuster and DeAndre Hopkins are set to boost the offense 

If Smith-Schuster returns in Buffalo, it will be the first time that Kansas City has had both wideouts in the same game.

As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for a crucial faceoff against the Buffalo Bills, offensive coordinator Matt Nagy feels confident in the team’s newly balanced receiving corps. With wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster set to return after a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Nagy anticipates a dynamic shift that will capitalize on each receiver’s unique skills.

“It’s a good problem,” shared Nagy, who emphasized Smith-Schuster’s physicality and experience, which complements the explosiveness of newly-acquired wideout DeAndre Hopkins....

Roundtable: The Broncos defense thrives in a post-Justin Simmons era

Roundtable: The Broncos defense thrives in a post-Justin Simmons era

It’s a strange feeling when a beloved Bronco returns to the Mile High City wearing the enemy’s colors.

No, Justin Simmons is anything but the enemy, but he is playing for the opposition on Sunday. It was a sad day when Simmons wasn’t retained by the Broncos. He ultimately signed with the Atlanta Falcons, this week’s opponent.

As luck – or perhaps not – would have it, Denver’s defense looks even better than it did last year… with Simmons. In Atlanta, meanwhile, the defense has been terrible… with Simmons. The two vastly different results bring Simmons’ return to Denver into...

Keys to beating the Dolphins on the road

The Las Vegas Raiders play at the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Kickoff is set for 10 a.m. PT.

Here are some keys to the game for the Raiders:

Handle Hill:

Dolphins’ wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been a Raiders’ killer and this defense has given up big plays to receivers. Hill was smoking the Raiders last November before an injury slowed him. Expect the Dolphins to try to get that going again.

Make Tua uncomfortable:

The Raiders have to make Dolphins’ quarterback Tua Tagovailoa feel the heat and try to make uncomfortable....
