The Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders will play what essentially is a play-in game this Sunday in Vegas. Winner goes to the postseason as an AFC wild card, loser stays home.

Aidan Hutchinson was so dominant in his three-sack performance against Ohio State that he soared to the top of draftnik big boards everywhere, the type of game-altering edge player NFL teams would fall over themselves to take in the 2022 draft.
