NFL Power Rankings, Week 10: Ravens upend Patriots, Browns implode completely

18. Los Angeles Chargers (21)
One of the bigger upsets of the weekend came in the smallest venue in the NFL. The Los Angeles Chargers hosted the Green Bay Packers at Dignity Health Sports Park, formerly known as StubHub Center. Their temporary home holds just 27,000 fans, who were treated to a great defensive performance as the home team made things hard on Aaron Rodgers.
The Packers went into the half without any points, trailing 9-0. They tried to make a comeback but never really made it a game and L.A. won 26-11. For veteran quarterback Philip Rivers, it was a great win as he had never beat the Packers and he says they do their best work when no one expects it.
"“For whatever reason we do better when it’s a little bit ‘the Chargers don’t have a chance.’ I don’t know why. I don’t think anyone gave us a chance in this one,” said Philip Rivers, who got his first win over Green Bay. “I wish we did better when everyone thought we were really good like the beginning of the season. All three phases did a heck of a job.” — via Associated Press, through USA Today"
Even with this win, there’s a lot of work to do for the Bolts. They’re 4-5 right now which is a far cry from their 12-4 record in 2018. They could still make enough noise to silence the rumors that they could start making some wholesale changes in the offseason, which should be enough for these guys to play for.
