The San Diego Chargers will travel to San Francisco today to take on the 49ers. The Chargers will be coming off of a loss to the Denver Broncos and will be looking to position themselves in a way that will set them up for the playoffs.
The Chargers will have to work around the issue of injuries as Keenan Allen isn’t available and running back Ryan Mathews‘ status is unclear.
The Chargers are one-game behind the current wild-card leaders, Pittsburgh and a Baltimore team they beat 34-33 on Nov. 30. San Diego also sits second out of three teams with 8-6 records and visits the top one, Kansas City, in its regular-season finale Dec. 28.
“We’ve got two big games coming up, and we’ve got to turn our focus to that,” wide receiver Eddie Royal said. “That will be a great time to get going.”
As for the 49ers they are dealing with missing the playoffs. A big reason for this is due to their numerous injuries. This will be the first year since 2010 in which they have missed the playoffs.
“Colin Kaepernick has also struggled mightily as the 49ers have totaled two touchdowns during a three-game skid — the franchise’s longest since an 0-5 start in 2010. He has posted a 54.3 quarterback rating — significantly lower than his 92.1 in the first 11 games — with four interceptions to just one touchdown and has been sacked 15 times, bringing his total to an NFL-worst 49.
“Regardless of the situation, we’re going out to win,” Kaepernick said. “There’s no one on this team that’s going to step on that field and say, ‘Hey, our season is over. We’re not going out to compete.’ We’re going to compete until the end.”
