NFL Week 15: 5 Teams That Must Win Keep Playoff Hopes Alive
By Ryan Ratty
San Diego Chargers
On Monday Night Football, against the Patriots, who were coming off a loss, the Chargers played their tail off against Tom Brady and co. Unfortunately, the Patriots started grinding out the game by converting on third downs. That made the Chargers worn out on defense and they would end up losing the football game. Despite having a good gameplan against Brady, the Chargers will face another top-five quarterback on Sunday in Peyton Manning.
Although the Chargers always play well against the Broncos, it will be hard to beat them considering Denver wants to lock up home-field advantage. San Diego has a tough schedule even after they play Denver in Week 15. The Chargers will finish their season on the road against the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. That being said, the Chargers need to play their best football for the next three games.
