AFC Notes: Carson Wentz, Rashee Rice, Broncos, Chargers, Chiefs

Broncos

Chargers

New Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh is bringing a new brand of football to the team to help them gain an edge over opponents.

โ€œThatโ€™s the mantra of this place; weโ€™re going to be physical,โ€ Los Angeles TE Hayden Hurst said, via ESPNโ€™s Kris Rhim, โ€œWeโ€™re going to come at you. When you see us pop up on the schedule, itโ€™s going to be a long Sunday.โ€

โ€œWe want to out-physical teams. We want teams to fear us. We want teams to end up giving up in the fourth quarter, where weโ€™re just hitting our stride. I think thatโ€™s where you get the most productive football, when youโ€™re just out-physicaling people.โ€
