The AFC is up for grabs with four weeks remaining in the regular season. Three of the conference’s four division leaders lost in Week 14, tightening the playoff picture and keeping the race for the No. 1 seed wide open.

Justin Herbert had surgery on Tuesday on his broken index finger on his right hand and will miss the Los Angeles Chargers� remaining four games this season.

The NFL’s fourth accelerator program starts Monday as part of the league’s winter meetings in Dallas.

Getting in the same room with owners who hire GMs, front office staff and head coaches is the key. The sessions are a version of speed-dating. 

Justin Herbert will visit two hand specialists on Monday after the Chargers quarterback fractured the index finger on his right hand during the second quarter of Los Angeles� 24-7 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
