Furthermore, I can't see San Diego in the playoff hunt come December 29th for many reasons, including their schedule. At 4-5, they'll need at least nine wins (if not ten) to make the playoffs because Denver, KC, NE and Indy are virtual locks, with Cincy, Cleveland, Baltimore and the Jets battling for the final two spots.
So, SD will need at least five out of their last seven wins against @Miami, @KC, Cincy, NY Giants, @Denver, Oakland and KC.
That doesn't leave them much room for error.
