CHARGERS..A really tough decision for Jim Harbaugh.  The Bolts play the Chiefs on Sunday.  A win puts them in the AFC-West race.  A loss is a setback for sure.  But the bigger story is QB-Justin Herbert’s health and his twice injured right ankle.  You can play him, with limited mobility, but risk further injury.  You can sit him a week, add in the bye week next week, and in 14-days get him healthy for the 13-weeks left on the schedule after the Chiefs game ends.

CHARGERS PROBLEMS II…Losing both LT-Rashawn Slater and RT-Joe Alt is crippling.  There is no Joey Bosa this weekend.  And there will be 3-new different OL starters against Chris Jones and that Chiefs pass rush.  A tough Sunday ahead.

RAMS..Matthew Stafford has willed his team back into games this season, but the problems continue to grow.  All the injuries to the offensive front and the pass defense.  Sean McVay does not have enough players either side of the ball.  LA is giving up (425YPG) and has allowed 11-TDs this season in just 3-weeks.

RAIDERS-BROWNS…2-QBs in trouble.  The highly erratic Gardner Minshew and the suddenly mediocre Deshaun Watson.  Minshew has never been a star.  Watson was once upon a time in Houston, but he is completing just 57% of his passes…has a 71-rating..3TD-4-turnovers and been sacked 16-times in 3-weeks.

BILLS-RAVENS..These two teams have played the big boys already on the schedule.  Josh Allen is carrying Buffalo.  And now Lamar Jackson-Derrick Henry have come together, combining for (1,237Y) all purpose yards in 3-weeks.  Big game.

PACKERS-VIKINGS..Sam Darnold has Minnesota at (3-0) with (8TD-2Int-117 rating).  The Packers could use QB-Jordan Love, coming off a sprained knee, but young backup Malik Willis is coming off a big road win..Green Bay is averaging (391YPG)

DENVER-JETS..It’s the young pup vs the old dog, this  Bo Nix-Aaron Rodgers matchup. Nix has yet to throw a TD..has 4-interceptions, and needs help from an erratic offense.  Rodgers  has tossed 5TDs with his 103-QB rating.  His defense has 14-sacks and is playing well.

EAGLES-TAMPA BAY…What a weird start.  Big plays, big yards, big turnovers.  Jalen Hurts-Saquon Barkley and that offense are explosive (411YPG) but they have coughed it up 6-times in three weeks.  Tampa’s Baker Mayfield has been electric but he has also taken 13-sacks.

WASHINGTON-ARIZONA…Kyler Murray is playing well (104QBR-5TD) and so is his WR-top pick Marvin Harrison averaging (19YPC).  The NFL surprise rookie is Jayden Daniels, playing mistake free ball with a (111QBR).  So far-so good.  We’ll see where they are by Sunday night.

BENGALS..Joe Burrow is throwing for a ton, but he’s on an (0-3) team.
PATRIOTS..Miserable offense (246YPG) and no way out of this mess.
CAROLINA..Bryce Young is (2-16) as a starter and who knows about a future?
BEARS..Tough start Caleb Williams (65 QBR)..2TD-4 picks-2 fumbles-13 sacks.
DALLAS..Yes they have Dak Prescott but they also give up (372YPG-12TD)
GIANTS..May have bad offense but a defense with 14-sacks.
49ers..Lots of injuries but still averaging (409YPG) when they have the ball
SEATTLE…Off to (3-0) start under Geno Smith-see me after the Detroit game.
TITANS..Off sophomore slump-QB-Will Levis..8-turnovers
COLTS..Anthony Richardson-bad start (49%-completions-0TD-6Int)
JAGUARS..Trevor Lawrence (2TD-11 Sacks-75R) in (0-3) start.

I’d say enjoy the NFL weekend, but that is dependent on how your team is doing-winning-or-reeling.
