COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Tom Telesco and the Los Angeles Chargers have spent most of their time "licking their wounds” after last Saturday’s second-half collapse in an AFC wild-card round game at Jacksonville.
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.

COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Brandon Staley will be back for a third season as the Los Angeles Chargers head coach.

The sixth-year wide receiver was downgraded to out on Friday after further rests.
COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Mike Williams’ status for the Los Angeles Chargers' AFC wild-card round game against the Jacksonville Jaguars will be a game-time decision.
Williams was listed as questionable on the team’s injury report Thursday.
DENVER (AP) — If the NFL insists on calling the first round of the playoffs next week “Super Wild Card Weekend,” then Week 18 was the “Fantastic Frenzied Forerunner” or the “Harrowing Harbinger.”
Brandon Staley is more concerned about the Los Angeles Chargers defense than he is about having a short week to prepare for Saturday night's AFC wild-card matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
After a solid four-game run, the Bolts defense reverted to giving up big plays and struggling to stop the run in their 31-28 loss to the Denver Broncos.
DENVER (AP) — Not even the sight of his leading receiver being carted off the field with an injured back could alter Brandon Staley’s plan.
The Los Angeles Chargers coach kept playing the starters Sunday and acting as though his team had something to play for, even though by the time the game began, it was clear it meant nothing.
COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Brandon Staley is approaching the final week of regular-season practices for the Los Angeles Chargers with a business as usual approach.
What happens in the three hours leading up to Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos though will have a lot of bearing on the Chargers' strategy though.
For the second time in three seasons, the Los Angeles Chargers have put together a late-season four-game winning streak.
In this case though, the momentum for the Chargers is coming at the right time as they are in the playoffs for the first time since 2018.
COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Linebacker Joey Bosa is expected to be activated off injured reserve before the Los Angeles Chargers host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Los Angeles Chargers tried to keep their postgame playoff celebration private.
No such luck. After shaking hands and walking off the field in Indianapolis, players jogged through a tunnel to blaring music, high-fives and hugs and headed into a first-time locker room scene for many of these Chargers — a playoff party.
COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Derwin James is on his way back to the Los Angeles Chargers' lineup after returning to practice Thursday.
Joey Bosa isn't there yet, but he must be getting closer.
The Chargers' defense came together over the past two weeks even without its big stars, and it can carry the Bolts (8-6) toward a playoff spot if it can shut down Nick Foles and the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Brandon Staley knew it was going to take a complete game for his Los Angeles Chargers squad to have a chance at beating the Miami Dolphins. In front of a prime-time audience, the Bolts responded with one of their best games of the season.
Add Derwin James to the extensive list of Los Angeles Chargers players whose status for Sunday night’s game against the Miami Dolphins is questionable.
The Chargers said the fifth-year safety didn't participate in practice Wednesday because of a lingering quadriceps injury.
Los Angeles Chargers general manager Tom Telesco spent more than $112 million in guaranteed salaries during the offseason to get players with experience in Brandon Staley’s defense.
Through 12 games, the returns have been disappointing.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — When the Los Angeles Chargers last came to Las Vegas, a tie would have put them and the Raiders in the playoffs.
Both teams looked as though they were heading there together in overtime last January — before the Raiders decided to go alone with a 47-yard field goal as time expired.
COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Justin Herbert has gone from being one of the league's best-protected quarterbacks to the most-sacked in the span of two weeks.
The Chargers signal-caller was sacked only 12 times in Los Angeles' first nine games, but he went down nine times against Kansas City and Arizona.
With the ball in Tom Brady’s hands, Todd Bowles played it safe and lost. Doug Pederson and Brandon Staley went for broke and celebrated wins.

They had four straight games earlier in the season during which they trailed by double digits at the end of the first quarter and won three of them.
COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Brandon Staley was hired as coach of the Los Angeles Chargers in 2021 after coordinating a top-ranked defense with the Los Angeles Rams.

COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Jerry Tillery was already expected to be in his last season with the Los Angeles Chargers after the team declined to exercise his fifth-year option during the offseason. It turns out the exit happened sooner.

He hopes that the extra emphasis on avoiding slow starts will help turn things around for his team.

The problem though is that this year isn't looking much different from previous seasons.
ATLANTA (AP) — The Los Angeles Chargers keep having to find new placekickers, and they keep giving the new guys game balls.

ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons have remained consistent in their commitment to running the ball without becoming predictable.
Los Angeles Chargers coach Brandon Staley says that's why the surprising Falcons are leading the NFC South.

Get ready for the risk-taking, head-scratching and second-guessing when the Denver Broncos visit the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night.
Brandon Staley has deserved plenty of second-guessing for some of his decisions during his first two seasons as Los Angeles Chargers coach.
The one thing he can't be faulted for though is being consistent in his strategy, especially when it concerns going for it on fourth down.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Brandon Staley trusted his gut, the analytics and his offense.
He got very lucky.
