Last year, the Chargers had something to fight for in Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Seattle, and Baltimore. They were the underdogs, and in two of those games, they were trailing, which gave them the emotional edge they needed to win.
This year, the Chargers have been picked by most to win every game they’ve played. The result: 2-3, with two of them embarrassing home losses with a chance to win in the fourth quarter.
Why haven’t they figured out how to win every game?
One can point to coaching, injuries, penalties, and turnovers, and they’d be absolutely correct in doing so.
