Locals in the NFL Playoffs: Davis’ Chargers hold off Weddle’s Ravens in wild-card round

AROUND THE SHIELD — Two years ago, Michael Davis was coming off the bench in BYU's secondary for half of his senior season.

On Sunday, the 6-foot-2, 196-pound native of Glendale, California was starting at cornerback for his hometown Los Angeles Chargers.

Davis made two tackles and two passes defended in the Chargers' 23-17 win over Baltimore in Sunday’s wild card round of the NFL Playoffs.

Former Utah star Eric Weddle tied for the team lead with seven solo tackles, including a tackle for loss, in Baltimore’s defeat.

Los Angeles (13-4) will play at second-seeded New England (11-5) (featuring former BYU linebacker Kyle Van Noy) in next week’s divisional round.
