Heading into week 8, the Chargers are preparing for their biggest game of the season. They’re facing off against the New Orleans Saints, a team struggling to get back to where they were at the beginning of the season.

The only three teams that trail them are the Carolina Panthers, Indianapolis Colts, and the Los Angeles Rams. Besides them, there is nobody worse than the Saints at limiting what the opposing teams want to do in the run game. That has been a problem all season, and in past losing seasons as well.
Alvin Kamara is staying with the New Orleans Saints. The star running back, who recently denied rumors that he wanted to be traded, signed a two-year, $24.5 million contract extension that keeps him with New Orleans through 2026. Originally reported
