White Casey Hayward Jerseys , running back Branden Oliver had an impressive year. He ran for 582 yards, added another 271 yards receiving, and looked like he was on his way to a good NFL career. But it hasn’t worked out that way.Now playing in the Alliance of American Football, Oliver says that he’s healthy again after a foot injury forced him to miss much of 2015, an Achilles injury forced him to miss all of 2016, and he struggled to recover in 2017 and didn’t play at all in 2018.“Every doctor I came in contact with told me I shouldn’t be able to play again, because of the way it snapped Casey Hayward Jerseys 2019 ,” Oliver told the Buffalo News of his Achilles injury. “Even the doctors were saying they never saw it snap like that. It was like a rubber band. You could see it moving in my leg. It’s on YouTube. You see it pop and go up and down a couple times.”Through two games with the Salt Lake Stallions, Oliver has 99 rushing yards, and he believes he’s a better all-around player than he was at any point in his NFL career.“I definitely feel like I’m better than I was before just because of the simple fact of the mental aspect of the game,” he said.The AAF exists to give players like Oliver an opportunity. He’s making the most of it. This is a great time of year to be thankful for what we have, where we have been, 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. 13: A History of Chargers Vs. ChiefsAnd then White Travis Benjamin Jerseys , on the biggest night of the year for the Chargers, there is reason to be hopeful for fans of both teams.Let’s take a quick trip down memory lane and figure out who has the edge in this rivalry.Many remember fondly the scrappy bouts between the Chargers and the Dallas Texans!The Dallas Cowboys VS. The Dallas TexansFor the uninitiated, we are talking about the Kansas City Chiefs. The team was founded in 1960 as the Dallas Texans by businessman Lamar Hunt and was a charter member of the American Football League (Editors Note: They are not associated with an earlier Dallas Texans NFL team that only played for one season in 1952, nor are they related to the current Dallas Cowboys). In 1963, the team relocated to Kansas City and assumed their current name. That makes the Denver Broncos the only AFC West team to never relocate, but I digress.Ever since the American Football League was established in 1960, the Chargers and the Chiefs have shared the same division Travis Benjamin Jerseys 2019 , first being the AFL Western Conference, and since the AFL–NFL merger, the AFC West. Throughout the Chargers’ entire history, the Chiefs have been there to foil their plans.First meeting: September 10, 1960 - Los Angeles Chargers 21, Dallas Texans 20Next meeting: Today! VITAL STATS:Meetings total 119 (including the playoffs and today) All-time series The Chiefs lead 62–55–1 (including the playoffs) Postseason results: The Chargers lead 1–0 (Chargers 17, Chiefs 0) Largest victory Chargers: 31–0 (2010); Chiefs: 49–6 (1964) Longest win streak Chargers: 6 (1979–1981); Chiefs: 7 (2014–present) Current win streak Chiefs: 9 wins (2014–present)Some interesting things might jump out at you from those stats. First- the series isn’t terribly lopsided White Derek Watt Jerseys , which is a good thing. Second- the series has been terribly, unforgivably lopsided lately.Let’s take a look by decade (why not??)1960s (Chiefs 10–9–1)1970s (tied 10–10)1980s (Chargers 12–7)1990s (Chiefs 14–7)2000s (Chargers 11–9)2010s (Chiefs 11–6)The Chargers surprised no one by being crushed by the Chiefs earlier this year. That also gave the Chargers their last multi-score loss. Momentum is an interesting thing. The Chiefs have dropped 4 straight, and appear to be the biggest 2nd half bust of the season (comparing fascinatingly with the Chargers being the biggest 2nd half gain of the season).This has been a frenzied and worthwhile competition, even if it does skew slightly toward the Chiefs. The Chargers can begin their trek to right the ship in this series later this year. We’ll know the results in just over a week!-Jason “Maybe that’s why I hate Dallas” Michaels
