AFC Notes: Vic Fangio, Broncos, Chargers, Raiders

Broncos

Broncos QB Drew Lock told the media that he is focused on the Week 18 game against the Chiefs and not his future

โ€œI do know my future is playing a game this week and thatโ€™s my No. 1 priority right now. I know itโ€™s not a narrative in our locker room; it might be out there in the cyberworld, but this win would mean no more than another win,โ€ Lock said, via the Associated Press. โ€œI mean, every single Sunday you go out there and everything you do, how you eat, how you sleep, when you come in, how many films you watch, all are pushed toward a win. And a win in this league, itโ€™s not easy to do, obviously. You know, I think Iโ€™d be just as excited about a win this week as Iโ€™d have been last week.โ€

  • According to Albert Breer, the Broncosโ€™ situation at head coach โ€œremains murkyโ€ at this time. Breer writes that Broncos GM George Paton hasnโ€™t been looking for an excuse to fire Vic Fangio and bring in his own guy. However, the results from this season are not what they were hoping for.
  • Breerโ€™s guess is that the Broncos will move on from Fangio. 
  • Two names to watch for the Broncosโ€™ job should it be available, according to Breer, are Cowboys HC Dan Quinn and Packers OC Nathaniel Hackett.

Chargers

Raiders

  • Raiders QB Derek Carr on the possibility of trying to tie with the Chargers on Sunday: โ€œSomeone said we could just take knees and tie if thatโ€™s the scenario. I was like, โ€˜Well, that sounds good to you, but I donโ€™t want to tie these guys either.โ€™โ€ฆI still want to go out there and still want to beat the Chargers.โ€ (Paul Gutierrez)
  • Michigan HC Jim Harbaugh already has strong ties to the Raiders organization should he leave the NCAA for another NFL job, according to Michael Lombardi.
  • Albert Breer of SI.com says that the possibility of the Raiders sticking with interim HC Rich Bisaccia shouldnโ€™t be completely ruled out.
  • Breer mentions that Raiders owner Mark Davis likes Bisaccia and may want to give him a real shot at the job. Breer adds that this would be an economical move for the Raiders as well.
  • Las Vegas has still done their homework on outside candidates but hasnโ€™t interviewed any external options yet.
  • As for GM Mike Mayock, Breer says his status is still up in the air at this time.
