Philip Rivers has been unstoppable when getting rid of the ball quickly (less than 2.5 seconds). His passer rating of 124.0 on throws in less than 2.5 seconds ranks 3rd out of 36 qualifying quarterbacks. The Titans’ defense will have their hands full with the feisty veteran and his quick trigger.

Philip Rivers is doing more than enough to enter the MVP conversation in 2018 - David Neumann
While he may not be the MVP frontrunner, Rivers deserves mention when discussing the NFL’s best quarterbacks this season. Rivers is playing his best football of the past five years, and the Chargers have legitimately looked like one of the best teams in the NFL. Whether that will continue over the final 10 games remains to be seen — we are talking about the Chargers after all.

James put forth yet another strong performance in his team’s Week 6 victory over the Browns, as he continues his push for Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. For the first time of his young career, James didn’t see a single target while he was in coverage, but that didn’t stop him from finding his way onto the stat sheet, as he tallied a sack from one of his six pass-rush snaps and also added two tackles against the run.
