Monday Night Football: Broncos at Chargers (7:15 CT) Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread, More

The Khalil Mack attack is back in prime-time on Monday Night Football.

In his first five games with the Chargers, the former Bears standout has 5 sacks, 7 quarterback hits, 6 tackles-for-loss, and a forced fumble. That puts him on a 17-game pace to snag 17 sacks, 24 QB Hits, 20 TFLs, and 3 forced fumbles. Just Khalil Mack doing Khalil Mack things upon his arrival in Los Angeles.

Russell Wilson better keep his head on a swivel.

Sigh. I miss this guy so much:
