Chargers Daily Links: Bengals picked to down Bolts on Sunday Night Football

Your source for all Chargers and NFL news from around the web.

Good morning, Chargers fans!

This week, the Bolts are hosting the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Night Football. The Bengals are 4-6 after coming oh-so close to beating the Ravens on Thursday Night Football the prior week.

After watching the offensive showcase put on by quarterback Joe Burrow and wideout Ja’Marr Chase, CBS Sports’ John Breech believes the Bengals will manage to top the Chargers by a score of 27-20.

His reasoning? He doesn’t think the Bolts can keep up offensive should their defense falter.

Silver Minings: Jakorian Bennett is coming through

2nd-year cornerback is playing well

If the Las Vegas Raiders are going to truly build a competitive roster they will need development for their young players top build a strong core if foundation players.

It appears Jakorian Bennett may be one of those core players. The second-year cornerback from Maryland is having an excellent 2024 season for the 2-7 Raiders.

Check out Bennett’s stats from Pro Football Focus:

Those are extremely impressive numbers.

Bennett deserves a lot of credit. The 2023 fourth-round draft pick began his rookie season as a starter, but he lost his job during the season and...

Horse Tracks: Broncos need to beat the Falcons or playoff hopes take a dive

Horse Tracks: Broncos need to beat the Falcons or playoff hopes take a dive

The Denver Broncos have lost two games in a row and it could cause them to miss the playoffs if they lose a third.

The last two games for the Broncos were never going to be easy and the odds were always that they would lose both.

The Broncos have a pretty significant test this week in the Atlanta Falcons. They have been playing good football all season long and represent a huge obstacle now to the Broncos having a serious shot at the playoffs.

The current playoff picture has the Broncos currently in as a wild-card, but their chances...

NFL playoff picture: Postseason probabilities entering Week 11 of 2024 season | NFL.com

With two fewer losses than the rest of the AFC field and an easier remaining schedule than any of their closest competitors, the Chiefs are the overwhelming favorites (76%) to capture the conference’s No. 1 seed. But their hold on a first-round bye could loosen quite a bit this weekend, with two massive games on tap. If Kansas City was to lose at Buffalo and Baltimore was to fall in Pittsburgh, the Bills and Steelers would significantly...

Denver Broncos waive DB Keidron Smith, spot opens on 53-man roster

Broncos film review: Audric Estime - the new RB1

Has rookie running back Audric Estime surpassed Javonte Williams? A review of him and the offensive line.

If we’re looking at snap counts alone, it seems like there is a new sheriff in the Denver backfield and it’s the rookie Audric Estime.

The Denver Broncos have seemingly been looking for a new starting running back this year. Javonte Williams has been good, and great at times, but it seems like Denver doesn’t trust him to consistently produce at the levels they’re looking for. Estime has shown flashes, and even seemed like he’d be taking the reigns at the beginning of...

Chargers-Titans Snap Count: D.J. Chark sees 1 snap in 2024 debut

Chargers-Titans Snap Count: D.J. Chark sees 1 snap in 2024 debut

Despite being active for the first time in 2024, D.J. Chark played just one snap on Sunday.

The Chargers dispatched the Titans with a combination of stout defense and efficient playmaking that allowed the offense to burn a ton of clock in the second half. Ultimately the game looked a lot closer than it was as Tennessee scored a touchdown in the final minute of garbage time, but don’t let that keep you from cherishing just how consistent this defense has been.

Sunday’s win made them the fourth team in the past 40 years to hold all of their opponents...

Is Tre Tucker improving?

Is Tre Tucker improving?

2nd-year wide receiver isn’t making huge impact

Tre Tucker is essentially a starting wide receiver for the Las Vegas Raiders in his second season.

The question is he going to do enough to show he can be a starting quality player for Las Vegas in 2025 or will the franchise have to add that position to their growing list of offseason needs?

Tucker has played, at least, 84 percent of the snaps and played more that 90 percent in four of the five games the Raiders have played since the Davante Adams saga started that resulted him in being traded....
