The Los Angeles Chargers had a fantastic start to the 2025 season, earning a trio of divisional victories with strong performances against the Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders, and Denver Broncos.
In those three wins, the Bolts recorded just 15 combined penalties. And had they been able to maintain that average of 5.0 per game over the last two weeks, they'd be the second-least penalized team in the NFL right now behind only the Pittsburgh Steelers (4.8).
But that obviously didn't happen. In their Week 4 loss to the previously winless New York Giants, the Chargers nearly matched their total from the first three games, as they were flagged 14 times for 107 yards.
