Star players were injured. They were starting rookies. They had a brand new coaching staff. There are plenty of reasons why the Chargers shouldn’t have a defense that gives up the fewest points in the NFL. Elijah Molden looks at the unit’s rise a different way. “Why not us?” he told teammates last month before…
Matthew Stafford already moved past Eli Manning on two NFL career passing lists. The Rams quarterback is on the verge of doing it again. If Stafford throws a touchdown pass against the Miami Dolphins on Monday night at SoFi Stadium, he will be in sole possession of 10th place. Stafford, a 16-year pro, has passed…
The Chargers didn’t make any moves at the trade deadline, but DJ Chark Jr.’s long-awaited season debut will be like adding a new player to an offense that is starting to round into form.

History will be made Saturday when the Southern Section crowns its first girls’ flag football champions at El Modena High’s Fred Kelly Stadium. The prime-time matchup at 4:45 p.m. will feature No. 1-seeded Orange Lutheran against No. 2 Newport Harbor for the Division 1 title in a rematch of their regular-season meeting Aug. 24 in…
The punch — the one that got Puka Nacua ejected against the Seattle Seahawks — is in the past, if not completely forgotten. Nacua will no doubt hear from the NFL about a fine, but the Rams’ star receiver otherwise has moved on. “I try to definitely put that one behind me,” Nacua said Friday…
Each minute that ticked away in the second half of Friday’s scoreless MLS playoff game with the Vancouver Whitecaps brought LAFC closer to what could have been the end of its season.
