As one of the hotter teams down the stretch of the 2022 NFL season, the Los Angeles Chargers could’ve begun their playoff run with all their valuable horses in the stable. Instead, with the team’s matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars looming on Saturday, they might be without vital playmaker Mike Williams. And head coach Brandon Staley seems to be the one likely at fault.
