13. You had a feeling that a trip to the Eastern time-zone to face a team that had lost 17 consecutive games may not go well for the Bolts. And for those who felt that this was the week that the Cleveland Browns were going to end the chance of becoming the second team to go 0-16 in a season, they were spot on. Hue Jackson’s offensive line allowed nine sacks but did a good job when it came to blocking for the run as Isaiah Crowell and the Cleveland running attack managed 124 yards on 29 carries while the Browns played turnover-free football. <p>Offseason Plans: Will San Diego’s 2017 season include head coach Mike McCoy? This is a team that owns a combined 9-22 record the last two seasons and has spent a lot of time finding ways to give away games in the fourth quarter. Saturday’s loss to the winless Browns in Cleveland certainly didn’t help McCoy’s case for a fifth season with the club.</p> <p>Draft talk: Sometime early in April’s draft the Chargers are going to have to address the quarterback position. Rivers has had his issues with turnovers again this year and does have 13 seasons under his belt. He has started every game for the club since the start of 2006 and the wear and tear is beginning to show. A little more help at wide receiver should also be on the team’s bucket list.</p>. 5-10.
