Chargers Beat Jaguars, Above .500 At The Bye Week

It's been almost two weeks since the Chargers beat the Jaguars fairly handedly and now after having last weekend off the Chargers travel to D.C. to face the Redskins.

So far, this season, the Chargers have surprised me by their play...in that it is much better than I had anticipated...but also, how bad the NFC East is.  Prior to the season started I didn't think the Chargers could beat any of their NFC opponents.  Now, I think the Chargers could sweep that division...already beating the Eagles and division leading Dallas...the Redskins are up next and then the lowly Giants later this season.

Another surprise is how well the AFC West as a whole is doing.  For the past couple years many could argue that the AFC West was one of the weakest in the league, it is now one of the toughest.  The Chargers have yet to play the Broncos and the Chiefs...both above the Chargers in the division...so the Chargers need to stay focused because the season is only going to get tougher for them and crucial division games loom on the horizon.
