The Los Angeles Chargers almost pulled off a major upset against a red-hot Buffalo Bills team, but more importantly showed the team was still fully invested. With the loss, the Chargers launched themselves into the top-6 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft getting one step closer to a premier selection. Dan and David analyze the tough loss and how Easton Stick took an important step in becoming the team's long-term backup. Safety Alohi Gilman stepped up in a big way forcing two turnovers, but also shined a light on how much the team needs him to stick around. Meanwhile Derwin James logged a career-low in snaps raising more concern around his future. The one player the Chargers must keep around is kicker Cameron Dicker who has blossomed into one of the league's best.
