Let’s kick this year off the right way. Here are your players from week 17 that finished the regular season on a high note and those who continued to regress into the postseason.SurgeWR Mike WilliamsWilliams has been one of the brightest lights in a season full absolutely packed with things to be happy about from this season.With his three-yard score in the third quarter, Williams upped his touchdown total to 11 on the year (10 receiving, 1 rushing). In their game against the Kansas City Chiefs on December 13th, Williams became the first Charger wideout with 10+ total touchdowns since Tony Martin in 1996. After yesterday’s score, he became the first Charger receiver with 10+ receiving since Martin from that same ‘96 season.On the year, Williams has just 43 catches for 664 yards. For all you people who like to use math since they’ve graduated high-school, that means about every one in four catches has been a touchdown for the second-year standout.With the Ravens on tap once again this weekend, this is no time for Williams’ efficiency to dwindle away.S Adrian PhillipsPhillips finds himself on the Surge list again after another productive performance where he paced both teams in tackles with 12 to go along with a pair of passes defended and a pivotal forced fumble in the second half that set up the team’s first offensive touchdown of the day.Ever since Phillips was nominated to the Pro Bowl as a special team member for the AFC Kellen Winslow Color Rush Jersey , his play has taken a giant step forward. In the team’s first contest against the Ravens, he was asked to help contain Lamar Jackson from his linebacker position and I think he did a phenomenal job, all things considered,Number 31 is peaking at the right time for the Bolts and I couldn’t be happier about it.StaticS Jahleel Addae(Every expletive in the dictionary.)Of all the bone-head plays made by Addae this season. he really waited until the finalgame of the regular season to out the cherry on top of his career-bad season.With the Broncos driving into the Bolts’ red zone, Addae executed a perfect tip-drill to pick off a deflected pass in the end zone and returned it about 20 yards before attempting to pitch the ball to Desmond King as he was being tackled. King, and everybody else, wasn’t expecting this.The ball ricocheted off King’s hands as it bounced right back into the Broncos’ possession, giving Denver a fresh set of downs near the red zone, once again.When asked about the incident after the game Philip Rivers Color Rush Jersey , Lynn called Addae “one of the smartest players he has been around” and that “it won’t happen again.”I wouldn’t hold my breath, coach.QB Philip RiversIf someone were to tell you in early December that Rivers would finish the regular season by throwing multiple interceptions in his final three games, you would probably smack them in the mouth for throwing that bad juju around. Of course, at the time, Rivers had yet to throw multiple picks in a game all season and you wouldn’t want some d-bag running around potentially jinxing your quarterback into that kind of funk.Alas, a clean finish to the regular season was not in the cards for the 37-year-old as he wound up throwing six interceptions in his final three games of 2018.Rivers hasn’t played that well in Denver over the years and this outing wasn’t much different. He finished 14-for-24 for 176 yards with a score to Mike Williams and the aforementioned pair of interceptions.His performance was still good enough to secure the team’s 12th victory of the season, even though they needed a little help from the defense to jump-start the rest of the team.With another showdown against the Ravens coming this Sunday, Rivers needs to find the insta-fix to his turnover habit before the first whistle blows. COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) The Los Angeles Chargers have added tight end Hunter Henry to the roster Melvin Gordon Color Rush Jersey , less than eight months after he suffered a knee injury during an offseason workout.Henry, the team’s second-round pick in 2016, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee while running a route during a non-contact drill on May 22, the first day of organized team activities. He had surgery two weeks later and had been on the physically unable to perform list since the start of training camp.Henry returned to practice on Dec. 17 and took part in team drills last week as the Chargers prepared for their AFC wild-card game at Baltimore. Monday was the deadline for the Chargers to decide whether to place him on the roster or injured reserve. Teams have a 21-day window to make a decision once a player on the PUP list starts practicing.Over his first two seasons, Henry has 81 receptions for 1,057 yards and 12 touchdowns. Even if Henry plays in Sunday’s divisional-round game at New England, coach Anthony Lynn said Henry’s participation would be limited.
