Many expected a 3-3 or 4-2 division record for the Chargers, as two games against the Chiefs and an always difficult Broncos game could have been predicted to be losses. The last possible expected result: An 0-6 record.
What has the AFC West done that the Chargers have not?
The Chiefs had Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins, and Travis Kelce. So, naturally, they took wide receiver Mecole Hardman in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, which was their first pick in that draft.
Hardman only caught one pass for 30 yards against the Chargers on Week 17, but made his presence felt on a 104-yard kick return for a touchdown.
