Chargers Hoping To Sink Dolphins In Home Finale
The Dolphins (5-8) have played their way out of any chance at the playoffs while the Chargers (3-10) are perhaps the most disappointing team in all of football.

Floyd, who hasn’t put up 100 yards in a game this season and is set to average less than 50 receiving yards per game for the first time since 2009, has an opportunity to take advantage.
