Good Afternoon Stormcloud!

The Los Angeles Chargers can secure their place in the playoffs with a win over the New England Patriots on a rare Saturday game in Foxborough. Jim Harbaugh's band of merry men can celebrate the festive season by gifting fans with the first post season action since 2022 and launch the campaign for the first playoff win since the 2018 season.

The Patriots season has been over for some time now as they sit at 3-12, as it stands this would give them the second overall pick in the draft next spring and whilst rookie head coach Jerod Mayo could try and push for a late season morale boosting win, this doesn't seem to be in their best interests considering they now have their quarterback for the future which means their clock is running on making the most of his rookie contract.

The injury report (above) and corresponding roster moves (in this link) make this a bit more difficult for the Bolts. It seems as if Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins are switching places between the starting role and the sideline as Gus has been ruled out but according to reports Dobbins, who has been out since Week 12, is ready to suit up.

The elevation of two safeties, including new signing Eddie Jackson, could spell trouble for the status of Elijah Molden's health. Although he has been declared as active he could be on a snap limit.

Sound off in the comments, StormCloud... how are you feeling about this game?!
