Chargers News: Bills Elevate Super Bowl Champ RB Ahead of Clash With Bolts

The Bills are doing what they can to win and make the playoffs.

The Los Angeles Chargers are set to host the Buffalo Bills in a primetime showdown that could act as a resurgence for the Bolts. The team recently got rid of Brandon Staley and Tom Telesco, and are now looking to the future. 

The future can start tonight with a big win against the Bills, which could ruin the surging AFC East team from making the playoffs at all. However, the Bills will do what they can to win. This includes elevating a former Super Bowl Champion.

The Bills have announced that they have elevated Leonard Fournette to the active roster. Fournette is nowhere near what he used to be, but he still has the ability to be a goal-line threat. 

Fournette will back up James Cook, who has been gashing defenses through the past few weeks. Should the Bills march down the field on the Bolts, they will likely use Fournette to punch the ball in. 

The Bills need to win tonight's game to stay within reach of a wildcard playoff spot. But a big win here could also mean winning out could land them another AFC East crown. 

However, the Chargers are trying to save face and shake off the tanking narrative by showcasing that the team has not phoned it in after dumping their HC and GM. The Bolts still have a scary defense, so we will see how well they stop Cook and Fournette.
