Senior News Writer Khalil Mack's 12th NFL season ended the same way as the previous 11, without a postseason victory. The Los Angeles Chargers' 16-3 loss to the New England Patriots marked the sixth one-and-done postseason appearance of his career -- one with Oakland, two in Chicago, three with L.A. The question is whether Mack, who turns 35 next month, is going to give it a 13th year to find that postseason win, or hang up the pads and wait for Canton to call. "Not trying to make that decision right now like I've almost done before," Mack said Monday, via the team’s official website. "Trying to stay as present as possible, stay prayed up, make a decision based on how I'm feeling and how my family is feeling, the vibes. "If the vibes are high, the decisions will be made. Just figuring it out day by day." Mack considered retirement last year before ultimately inking a one-year deal to remain in L.A. He is slated to hit free agency in March. For now, the latest playoff loss is too fresh for him to consider what the future might bring. "You're still kind of processing it a little bit, but ultimately ... just didn't do enough to win," Mack said. "Can't live with ifs and what-ifs. Turn that page and look forward to getting better in all facets of the game. The chips fall where they may without talking too far ahead. Try to stay where your feet at. One of those things where you're pissed off, but what happened was supposed to happen." Mack later added that he doesn't want to "make a decision based on how you feel in the present moment, especially after a tough loss. It's about taking time and taking that step back." While missing five games due to injury, Mack compiled 5.5 sacks, 11 QB hits and 32 tackles. His 113 career sacks place him 29th all-time and seventh among active players. Even as his production winds down from being a perennial All-Pro early in his career, a player with Mack's ability to affect the passer -- even on a rotational basis -- would still be coveted on the open market. If he decides to continue his career, Mack will find a landing spot in L.A. or elsewhere.
