COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Chargers will have an effect on the playoff picture.
Just not the one they hoped for coming into this season, or the position the underlying statistics suggest they should be in.
The Chargers can play spoiler when they host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, which would help the Los Angeles Rams in their efforts to earn a wild card berth in the NFC. However, Chargers players said that helping out the team they will share a stadium with starting next season is not their main focus.
“We want to win for us,” quarterback Philip Rivers said.
