Mike Williams is like Jerry Rice in that his game speed is faster than his 40 time.
Rice's official 40 time coming out of college is in dispute. Some say it was 4.6, others say it was 4.7. But there is no dispute that with the ball in his hands Rice was maybe the fastest man on the field.
Mike Will is similar. Recall the Pitt game last season when the Chargers fell behind late. Mike Will took a pass from Herbert on the sideline and sprinted 50+ yds to the end zone. A Pitt DB, I forget which one, thought he had the angle to cut him off, but Mike Will was too fast for him. That is just one example where I've seen Mike Will get a ball then turn upfield full speed and he is out-running DBs. I'm not saying Mike is a 4.3 guy in those situations, but maybe a 4.4 guy with the ball in his hands.

Navarro may be reading us. His current Mike Williams article firs nicely.https://www.chargers.com/news/charge...justin-herbert
His 55-yard reception in the third quarter was the offense's longest reception of the season to date and kept up a recent trend of lengthy plays from No. 81. Since 2018, Williams ranks third in the NFL with 23 receptions of 40-plus yards.
Williams, who has 44 catches for 626 yards and four touchdowns, simply opens up the field for everyone else. His return translated the Chargers most passing yards in a game this season.

Best scenario Week 15
Bills beat Dolphins Sat eve
Lions beat Jets Sun morn
Raiders beat Patriots Sun aft
Chargers beat Titans Sun aft
This would put the Chargers in the No. 6 seed. It would be nice to wrap up a playoff berth in week 17 so that week 18 in Denver is not a must win.
The minimum that needs to happen this week to get inside the playoff window is for the Bills to beat the Dolphins (which is almost a lock IMO) and the Chargers over the Titans - this would put the Chargers in the No. 7 seed, even if the Raiders fall to the Patriots.
Question - what if the Chargers clinch a playoffs spot in Week 17, and in week 18 they could only improve their wildcard seeding from No. 7 to No. 6 with a win over the Broncos in week 18? Do play the starters in week 18?
