25. San Diego Chargers 4-5 (25)

The Chargers don’t move this week despite a great offensive showing on Sunday in a 43-35 victory over the Tennessee Titans.  They may be moving on up though if they continue the effort.

Thoughts may have seeped in that the Chargers were on the verge of blowing another late lead but this time the defense stepped up when they needed to with a couple of touchdowns.

They still gave up 35 points though to a tough, much improved Titans team.  The Chargers are still not on the same level as the rest of the AFC West.

There is time to get better.  The Chargers host the Miami Dolphins this Sunday and then go to Houston to face the Texans.  After that, they are home for the Buccaneers.  That’s three games where the Chargers can improve their standing in a hurry.
