@chargers

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.

@chargers

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.

@Keenan13Allen

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).

@FiftyDeuce

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

.@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 😱

@chargers

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?

@Seahawks

Many expected this season to be the start of a rebuild in Seattle. The @Seahawks parted ways with two of the franchise’s best in the offseason.

But Pete Carroll, Geno Smith, and a list of rookies had other plans. After a remarkable year, the 12s are back in the playoffs. (🧵⬇️)

You're used to seeing Russell Wilson at Lumen Field in Week 1. But not in the visitor’s locker room.

All eyes on Russ' return in primetime, but it was Geno who stole the show with the hardest mic drop of 2022. 🎤

@GenoSmith3

The Week 1 win was no fluke. SEA was here to compete. Winners of five of six from Weeks 4-9, the Hawks were flying high.

Getting his first chance since 2014 as a full-time QB1 in the NFL, @GenoSmith3 was putting up early season MVP-type numbers. Nobody was sleeping on 7 anymore.

@BuffaloBills

The @BuffaloBills have reached the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season and finished with their third-straight season with 11 or more wins. Let’s look back at their journey to the playoffs ⬇️

@VonMiller

The Bills kicked off their season the best way possible, defeating the defending Super Bowl champs. A nice way for new Bills LB @VonMiller to kick off his first season as a Bill, proving they were the real deal on a primetime stage.

After a close loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 3, the Bills came back stronger with a four-game win streak.

@Jaguars

From worst in the league to first in their division, the @Jaguars are playoff bound once again.

With a new head coach and a star second-year QB, Jacksonville finished the regular season on a 5-game winning streak. Let’s recap a redemption season in #DUUUVAL. THREAD 🧵

@44Ytw

In the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Jags selected Georgia’s standout LB, Travon Walker.

@44Ytw made an immediate impact, nabbing a crucial interception against Carson Wentz and the Commanders in his first NFL game.

From the start of the season, it was clear the Jaguars had made improvements defensively. Through the first four weeks, Trayvon Walker was second on the defense in pressures generated. LB Devin Lloyd was tied for the team lead in tackles.

@49ers

They were 3-4.

They finished 13-4.

A season once in question is now perfectly relevant behind Mr. Irrelevant and a 2-way cast of superstars.

Here’s how the @49ers did it. #FTTB [THREAD 🧵]

@CMC_22

One could say the 49ers' season turned around when they traded for @CMC_22 in Week 7.

They are 10-0 since CMC became a starter. An instant impact.

Could he have been the greatest mid-season acquisition of all time? The man even throws passes!

Now, you can't just have a good offense to make the playoffs. Defense wins championships, and boy does SF have a good one.

Ranked No. 1 in yards allowed per game and total points allowed, this unit literally flies to the football.

@pepsi

Rookies put their name on the map every single week this season. 💪

Let’s look back at some of the best performances from this season’s rookie standouts that earned them @pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Week honors. 🔥(THREAD ⬇️)

@JahanDotson

Imagine catching a TD for your first-ever reception in your first-ever game. 👀

That’s exactly what @JahanDotson did in Week 1, scoring TWO TDs to lead the @Commanders to a perfect start to the season. 🔥@pepsi

@nyjets

Get used to seeing some @nyjets highlights in this thread. What a season for their rookies. 💪

It all started with @GarrettWilson_V’s 102 yard, muti-TD day in Week 2, capping off a miraculous comeback win. @pepsi
