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.

“That’s the mantra of this place; we’re going to be physical,” Los Angeles TE Hayden Hurst said, via ESPN’s Kris Rhim, “We’re going to come at you. When you see us pop up on the schedule, it’s going to be a long Sunday.”

“We want to out-physical teams. We want teams to fear us. We want teams to end up giving up in the fourth quarter, where we’re just hitting our stride. I think that’s where you get the most productive football, when you’re just out-physicaling people.”
