Chargers defensive end Morgan Fox is on a depth chart with Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack, but this is his week to shine.
The Westminster Dog Show concluded Wednesday in Tarrytown, New York, with Fox and his French bulldog Winston turning some lofty ambitions into a reality.
After taking top honors among the French bulldog breed, Winston — officially listed as GCHP CH Fox Canyon's I Won The War At Goldshield CGCA CGCU TKN — advanced to win the non-sporting group and put him in the running for Best in Show.

If this is how my parents felt watching my games all these years I apologize 😂

With the Westminster Dog Show being the most prestigious dog show in the country, if not the world, Fox has a lot to be excited about.
Despite not taking the Best in Show title home, it looks like Winston has won over the hearts of many.
Congratulations to @AyyyeeeMoFox & Winston the French Bulldog! 🎊

It would appear the Chargers might also have a new unofficial mascot.
