The Chargers (11-3) are hosting the Baltimore Ravens (8-6) following a dramatic victory over the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium two Thursdays ago.The Chargers are back at StubHub Center where they squeaked out a 26-21 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals roughly two weeks ago.The Chargers fourth-highest scoring offense (28.2 pts/gm) meets the league’s top-ranked defensive unit (18.1 pts/gm) in what should be a slugfest to the very end.While the Chargers run game has taken a recent dip the past few weeks Russell Okung Color Rush Jersey , the return of Melvin Gordon should ramp things back up a bit but that’s all speculation when you realize the Ravens only allow an average of 87.6 (3rd) yards on the ground.It’ll be tough sledding for Philip Rivers and company through the air, as well, since the Ravens only give up a measly 202.6 (3rd) passing yards per game.Both teams are fairly healthy heading into this game with RB Austin Ekeler and TE Sean Culkin the only two Chargers announced OUT prior to this evening. The only other Charger to have an injury designation is WR Keenan Allen who is reported to be all-systems-go following a pair of full practiceson Wednesday and Thursday.RB Melvin Gordon is also back after being sidelined for the past month due to a Grade 2 MCL sprain he suffered in the third quarter against the Arizona Cardinals.The Bolts will surely have their hands full with Lamar Jackson, whom the Ravens OC Greg Roman has turned into a true dual-threat as the quarterback averages 17 carries per game through his first five career starts. This is a great time of year to be thankful for what we have, where we have been Junior Seau Color Rush Jersey , and what the future holds. Although the Chargers have lost their way a bit in recent years, the month of December still holds such incredible promise! This advent calendar is an attempt to hearken back to these days of December joy. Each day will bring a new advent from the Bolts’ history that makes it wonderful to be a Chargers fan.Dec. 08: 2018 appears to be Whisenhunt’s year!The Chargers offense has always some success with Philip Rivers under center. With the birthday boy heading into his 15th season with the franchise, Rivers has been consistent at making the Chargers look playable even in lost seasons. After being fired by the Tennessee Titans, Chargers offensive coordinator needed a fresh start...kind of. Following being let go by the Arizona Cardinals, the Georgia native headed out to San Diego under Mike McCoy to become the Bolt’s offensive coordinator. In 2013 Desmond King Color Rush Jersey , Whisenhunt’s offense was dynamic, explosive and considered one of the best in the NFL. Ranking 4th in total offense, 4th in passing offense and 13th in rushing offense, the Whiz turned San Diego into a contender and helped bring them back to the postseason that season. Then he left for Tennessee, the Chargers run offense struggled and the team has been stuck in a limbo of averageness since. Oh but how Santa Claus saw how nice of a person Whisenhunt was and threw him a bone. Entering his third year back with the organization Corey Liuget Color Rush Jersey , Whisenhunt’s magic has made the Chargers offense into one of the league’s best once again. Ranking 5th in total offense. 8th in passing offense and 11th in rushing offense, Whisenhut’s numbers actually are better than his successful 2013 campaign.The big kicker however is the ability to take veteran talent and turn it into MVP caliber status. Rivers is now 37 but playing stronger than he did back when he was 32. In 2013, the future Hall of Fame gunslinger threw for 32 touchdowns and just 11 interceptions. He’s on pace to throw for 37 touchdowns and eight interceptions this season. Austin Ekeler has seen his role grow similar to how Whinsenhunt used Danny Woodhead in 2013. A pass catcher first, Ekekler has collected three of his four total touchdowns through the air. Whienshunt has also done a fantastic job transforming young talent into rising stars early on in their careers. Before the injury, Hunter Henry looked to be the next great tight end in the NFL thanks to his route running and red zone threat. Following a terrible rookie season Dan Feeney Color Rush Jersey , Mike Williams have proven to be a quality secondary receiver in Whiz’s offense. Even Melvin Gordon has turned his career around and become one of the best feature backs in the league. With the news of Whisenhunt electing to stay in Los Angeles rather than head back home to coach Georgia Tech, it proves he’s invested in the team that has been nothing short of finding success under him. This holiday season, don’t be a grinch and look at the terrible moments the Chargers have seen a points this season. Be cheery and joyful that thanks the Whisenhunt, Los Angeles could ready to make a trip down to Atlanta come February.
