team. 13. . 3-4. . Los Angeles Chargers. 18

I’m going to argue the Los Angeles Chargers are, perhaps, the best three-win team in the NFL this season.

Think about the teams they’ve beaten on a three-game winning streak — the Giants (OK, that’s not too big a deal), the Oakland Raiders and, after a 21-0 shutout, the Denver Broncos now. Tack on some missed field goals and extra points during L.A.’s four-game losing streak to start the season, and the Chargers could easily be 5-2 and contending for the AFC West crown.

Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves, but the Chargers aren’t as bad as many made them out to be early this season.

Quarterback Philip Rivers had two passing touchdowns, and second-year EDGE Joey Bosa continues to be a beast.

Good job, Chargers. Good job.
