Many in the NFL world agreed with Cowherd on his assessment. This fan has given their pick for the next Chargers head coach.

For this fan, the Chargers are cursed as a team.

According to this fan, the franchise needs a couple of speedy wide receivers.

And for this fan, the Chargers lost the battle but won the war.

But this fan doesn’t want Sean Payton in the same division as Patrick Mahomes.

This fan isn’t blaming the offense for blowing out the 27-point lead in a playoff game.

Whatever might be anyone’s emotions after the game, some of the credit of this astounding win goes to the Jaguars. Down and out in the first half, they dusted themselves and picked up the pieces in the second.
