13. I was stupid enough to rank the San Diego Chargers fifth last week, but at least I ominously predicted a sharp plummet for this team. What they did yesterday against the Miami Dolphins was absolutely pathetic in every sense of the word, and I’m still shocked that they managed to play that poorly.
