A year ago, the @chargers missed out on the playoffs in the final seconds of the season.

Now, they’re in the playoffs for the first time since 2018 and we get to see Justin Herbert in the postseason for the first time in his career. (THREAD ⬇️)
The season got off to a rocky 5-5 start, with the team dealing with key injuries from top players.

But, with 5 wins in their last 7 games, the Bolts kept fighting and secured a wild card spot in Week 16. Image
One of the biggest keys to the @chargers success? @AustinEkeler the @NFLFantasy KING.

He led the league with 18 scrimmage TD and had 107 receptions in 2022, tied for 2nd-most in NFL history by a RB.
And when the duo of @Keenan13Allen & @darealmike_dub are healthy together, this team looks scary.

In the 4 games Williams & Allen both played 50+ pct of snaps in 2022, the Chargers were 4-0 and Herbert led the NFL in completion percentage (73.7). Image
Don't sleep on the defense either.

Offseason pickup @FiftyDeuce leads the Chargers in sacks (8.0), TFL (12), & QB hits (12) this season and earned himself his 7th career Pro Bowl nod.
.@DerwinJames was named to his third Pro Bowl behind another stellar season, posting 115 total tackles, 4 sacks, 2 INTs and 2 forced fumbles in just 14 games.
Meanwhile, Justin Herbert continues to do Justin Herbert things.

He broke his own franchise record for for most completions (477) and attempts (699) in a season.

And then he makes throws like this that make you go 😱
The @chargers are ready to take the next step and get a big win in the #SuperWildCard.

But, will the AFC South Champion Jaguars stand in their way?

The #WPMOY Award is the most prestigious honor in the NFL, given to a player that exemplifies greatness on and off the field.

But to understand the significance of this achievement, it's important to the know the man who the award was named after. 🧵 Image
Walter Payton was born on July 25th, 1954, in Columbia, Mississippi. As a child, he was involved with his church and Boy Scouts, which shaped his strong character.

He did not play football until his junior year of high school, not wanting to compete with his brother Eddie.
Image
Image
Once Eddie graduated, Walter agreed to play on the team and immediately became a star. During his senior year, his all-Black school integrated, and Payton’s athletic performance and sheer determination helped ease the tension around desegregation in his community. Image

On Saturday, the @Lions and @Broncos meet for the first time since 2021. Both teams are top 2 in their respective divisions and vying for playoff spots.

But there’s an added layer of competitiveness between these clubs’ HCs.🧵
Image

Dan Campbell and @SeanPayton have known each other for nearly 25 years, and this is the first time they’ll meet as head coaches.

Their friendship began when TE Dan Campbell was drafted in 1999 by the @Giants, where Payton was a QB coach.
Image

When @SeanPayton moved to Dallas to become the @dallascowboys assistant HC, Campbell was one of the first free agents to sign with Dallas. He was there for 3 years before signing with Detroit.
