The LA Chargers open the 2020 season against the Cincinnati Bengals. Let’s get to know last year’s last-place team.

The Cincinnati Bengals and LA Chargers had a poor 2019 season and moved on from their long-time quarterbacks, Andy Dalton and Philip Rivers.

Each team went on to take their future franchise leader in this year’s draft, with the Bengals taking Joe Burrow with the first pick and the Chargers taking Justin Herbert with the sixth.
