Pretending we're playing Jeopardy, we might see a question-answer something like this. Contestant: "NFL for $200." Host (let's say Art Fleming for old-times sake): "The answer is: The QBs the Chargers beat in their first six wins this season." Contestant: "Who are Gardner Minshew, Bryce Young, Bo Nix, Spencer Rattler, Jameis Winston, and Will Levis." We can now add Joe Burrow, in a game the Bengals should have won, and note that it was an early-season version of the rookie Nix that was beaten by the Bolts.Kirk Cousins certainly rates a few levels above, and therein seems to lie a key for the Chargers success this season. When stepping up vs. the Steelers, Chiefs, Cards, and Ravens, the Bolts have fallen short. Even counting a belated TD in the final moments of the 30-23 loss to Baltimore, Justin Herbert and the Bolts offense have only scored 14.5 pg in their losses.
Last week's bye came at a good time for the Falcs, who had lost two straight prior, but the return to Mercedes Benz should prove a plus. Play Falcons
