The defense stepped up with three picks and three fourth-down stops as the Bolts defeated the Colts. There is a time and a place for this.
The head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers presented the owner of the LA Clippers with a game ball.
Since I got here, I've wanted to give him a game ball. He has been waiting. He supports the team. All of us have been together because of him.
The Bolts had a lot to celebrate in the visitors locker room at Lucas Oil Field after they dismantled the Colts.
With two games left in the regular season, the Bolts will return to the playoffs for the first time since the year 2000.
"I'm not good at making speeches, but I'm so proud of all you guys," he said. We're starting on a good leg, so let's do it.
The Chargers entered Week 16 with a direct path to the playoffs after jumping into the No. 6 seed. After the New York Jets, New England, and Las Vegas Raiders all lost in their weekend games, L.A.'s playoff spot came earlier than expected.
"I've been here long enough to know that when it comes, it's a great feeling," said the 10th year veteran. We talk about controlling what you can. We were able to handle our own fate this week.
Sebastian Joseph-Day won a Super Bowl with the Rams. It isn't over. We have two more games to play and we have to keep going.
It will be the first time that Staley and Herbert will play in a playoff game.
Herbert said it would be fun. I'm excited to be in that atmosphere and to have an opportunity to play football.
It's not the end. When the Bolts lost to the Raiders in Week 18 of the season, a tie or win would have sent them to the playoffs. Our goal is to get into the playoffs and make a run at a Super Bowl title, but we need to play our best football in the last two games to do that.
The Bolts were considered one of the favorites to make a deep run in the playoffs at the beginning of the season.
A blockbuster trade with the Chicago Bears brought pass-rusher Khalil Mack to L.A., and the Bolts signed CB J.C. Jackson to a five-year, $82.5 million deal in free agency.
Several important players were injured during the 5-5 start to the season.
Herbert played through a broken rib that he suffered in Week 2 and was without Allen and Mike Williams, who both had injuries. They didn't play a complete game until Week 14. After Week 3, the offensive line lost a left tackle to injury.
The Bolts lost three players to injury on defense. The unit is hitting its stride despite Bosa possibly returning.
"So many people have had their hand in this, and that's the beautiful thing," said Joseph-Day after giving a shout out to Dicker and Carter. A lot of the growth came from guys stepping up.
The Indianapolis quarterback was sacked seven times and Nick Foles was held to 17-of-28 passing for 142 yards with three turnovers. On third down, the Colts were 0-for-11.
We've got the makeup that's appropriate for the weather we've had. "If it weren't for the makeup of our football team, we wouldn't be here today." "For too long people have talked about the talent of this football team and the organization, and that's not what gets you where you want to be." We have a tough enough football team mentally and physically to be where we are right now, and that is what we have proved so far this year.
The Bolts will play their final game of the season at Denver in Week 18.
Herbert was adamant that there was still room for improvement even though he had his first career playoff spot.
Herbert doesn't think we've played our best football so far. The defense has done a great job recently. We can be better on the offensive side. We can limit turnovers if I do my job.
