3. The San Diego Chargers are pretenders
This is not an overreaction to the Chargers losing to the Kansas City Chiefs, but this game did show that the Chargers can be vulnerable against a good team. Although they still possess a 5-2 record, the Chargers have had an easy schedule in their seven-game stretch to start the season.
They did beat the Seattle Seahawks at home, but all of their other wins have come against mediocre or poor teams. They have beaten the Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, Oakland Raiders and New York Jets. Three of those teams are among the worst in the NFL, and it remains to be seen if the Bills are really a playoff contender.
