Eric Weddle: 'We can handle pressure'

San Diego Chargers safety Eric Weddle has warned that his side are a threat in the playoffs this season following their win over the Cincinnati Bengals yesterday.

The Chargers became the first away team to win at the Paul Brown Stadium this campaign with their 27-10 victory yesterday, reaching the Divisional round having sneaked into the playoffs with a 9-7 regular season record.

"We're loose, we're confident, we're peaking at the right time. We are a team to be dealt with," Weddle told The AP.

"We're a confident bunch, especially in the second half, in the fourth quarter. We feel we're ready for those situations. The pressure is not going to get to us."

The Chargers will now face the Denver Broncos on Sunday having already played them twice this season, winning one and losing one.
