From 6-6 to the AFC’s top wild-card spot, Brandon Staley has steered the Chargers into the postseason So why does the notion persist that a loss to the Jaguars Saturday night could trigger change, perhaps throughout the chargers organization?
“Coach Staley’s done a hell of job all year,” wide receiver DeAndre Carter said. “Everything we’ve been through injury-wise, keeping us together, keeping us on the same mission. I think it’s just a testament to him as a coach, as a leader.”
Staley was an assistant with the 2018 Chicago Bears, who lost a wild-card game. He was the defensive coordinator of the 2020 Rams, who won on wild-card weekend before losing in the divisional round. Then, using a phrase he often does when describing the careers of young players, Staley added, “It’s just the beginning.”
Edge rusher Joey Bosa also appeared on the team’s injury report for the first time since he returned in Week 17. The Chargers estimated that Bosa would have been a full participant. In his second game back after core-muscle surgery that cost him 12 games, Bosa played 23 snaps Sunday at Denver but did not reenter after halftime.
