Jones argued that the late-November meeting is a standout on the NFL primetime docket not only because it's a playoff rematch, but because of Los Angeles' jabs at New England head coach Mike Vrabel during its schedule release video.

"This is a 'Sunday Night Football' rematch between AFC wild-card opponents. On Jan. 11, the Patriots sent the Chargers packing with a 16-3 victory," Jones wrote. "Now they’ll face again, and the Chargers just may have added some extra fuel to New England’s fire with a few subtle shots at Mike Vrabel during L.A.’s schedule-release video."
With the NFL schedule release garnering plenty of headlines and training camp on the horizon, the Vrabel-Dianna Russini affair scandal has taken somewhat of a backseat in recent days.
It wouldn't be surprising if the controversy remains a topic of conversation heading into the new season though.
