No. 7: Vinnie Iyer - Sporting News (Last week: No. 9)

Add the Chargers to the short list of white-hot teams surging ahead of the playoffs. Justin Herbert has his groove back passing and Austin Ekeler hasn't lost his. The defense has to be thrilled to have Joey Bosa back.

No. 8: Pete Prisco - CBS Sports (Last week: No. 9)

They seem to really have it going at the right time. It's amazing how good this team can look as they get healthy.

No. 8: Frank Schwab - Yahoo Sports (Last week: No. 9)

The Ravens' loss Sunday night was big for the Chargers. That slid the Chargers into the No. 5 seed. If the Chargers win Sunday, on wild-card weekend they'll face the No. 4 seed, which is the AFC South champion.

No. 7: NFL Nation - Lindsey Thiry - ESPN.com (Last week: No. 9)

Regular season in five words or fewer: Weathered the storm

The Chargers opened the season with a ready-made roster for a Super Bowl run, but that goal quickly appeared in jeopardy after the Bolts suffered several significant injuries within the first three weeks: Justin Herbert fractured rib cartilage; WR Keenan Allen strained a hamstring; and LT Rashawn Slater and edge rusher Joey Bosa were placed on injured reserve. Continuing into the season, injuries continued to plague the team, with CB J.C. Jackson, DL Austin Johnson and WR Mike Williams all missing time. Nevertheless, the Chargers remained on course and in contention to earn a postseason berth. Now several players -- including Allen, Williams and Bosa -- have returned healthy and the Chargers have clinched their first playoff berth since 2018.
