Chargers vs. Jaguars Preview: Vidal’s Running Will Be Vital | D Must Pressure Lawrence | Forget 2024

Send us a text The Ramirez brothers are breaking down the Chargers vs. Jaguars matchup — and first off, there will be NO talk about the 2024 playoff game. That’s old news. Half of the current roster didn’t even play in it, so what’s the point? Jim Harbaugh may have found his RB2 in Kimani Vidal, who could play a key role until Omarion Hampton returns. Vidal’s running will be vital (pun intended) to get the Jaguars defense to bite on play-action fakes and open things up for Justin Herbert, wh...

Chargers v. Steelers recap: L.A. bullies Pittsburgh as defense bottles up Aaron Rodgers in 25-10 win

Send us a text The Compas will break down the Chargers huge 25-10 win over the Steelers. The Chargers defense was able to smoother Aaron Rodgers all night and made him feel uncomfortable.

The Chargers offensive line did well when it came to Kimani Vidal running the ball as he had over 100 rushing yards and one touchdown. Herbert and Ladd's connection was ...

Chargers v Titans recap: Herbert bounces back | Lose Alt & Hart | Defense glimpses | O-line problem

Send us a text The Ramirez Brothers will recap the Chargers game versus Tennessee Titans. The Bolts take home the 27-20 victory but it was ugly especially after the offense and special teams gave up 14 points.
