For many San Diegans, the Los Angeles Chargers were easier to stomach when they were …
Chargering themselves to defeat.
Then Sunday night happened.
The big victory over the Steelers re-introduced folks to a team’s bubbly end of the emotional spectrum, one that’s central to the parity-driven NFL’s stock-in-trade.
By defeating a good Steelers squad in Pittsburgh in front of a national audience, the Chargers hit a high note they’d not struck since the relocation.
Endorphins flowed, among fans who cheer for the transplanted Bolts.
Remember the San Diego vibe back when the Chargers would pull one off like the 33-30 victory Sunday?
