NFL Power Poll

So the Cowboys prevailed because a) they were desperate, b) they knew we needed a winner and c) the Chargers decided to Chargers.

Los Angeles lost at home Monday night to a very blah-tastic Cowboys crew, and you have to wonder about what could be with these Chargers.

Justin Herbert is a dude. There are likable pieces on each side of the ball. Yet, they are 2-3 — with all three losses coming by three points or fewer — and I don’t know if the Chargers are good or terrible.

Do you?
