Mackenzie Salmon looks at the biggest risers and fallers in this week's NFL power rankings.INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Many considered the AFC West as the best division in football when the season kicked off, but the division has disappointed this year. If the playoffs started today, the Kansas City Chiefs would be the AFC West’s only representative as the division winner.
Prior to Week 14, Williams, Allen and Herbert had been on the field together for fewer than 50 snaps all season due to injuries. When Herbert has Williams and Allen on the field together, the Chargers have one of the top receiving duos in the NFL. The Chargers have an NFL-high six players with at least 400 receiving yards this season. Williams has 626 yards in nine games, Allen has tallied 400 yards in six games and Ekeler has 623 receiving yards in 13 games.The Chargers have struggled defensively this season. Los Angeles has the NFL’s 24th-ranked third-down defense, 28th-ranked run defense and is 28th in points allowed per game .
"We are in December right now. Every game is a must-win game. That's just our mindset," Chargers linebacker Kenneth Murray said."We try to take it one week at a time and just win out every week. We're trying to get on a roll and get into these playoffs."
