It’s been awhile since we’ve done an opponent preview for the upcoming season, and now that the preseason has not only started but it’s halfway over, it will be interesting to see how these opponents currently stack up.
For comparison, here are previews for the first three games of the season against the Indianapolis Colts, Detroit Lions and Houston Texans.
Prior to last season, the Chargers had faced the Dolphins in each of the previous five seasons. The Chargers lost all but one of those games. While the Dolphins haven’t been wildly successful for quite some time — they’ve made the playoffs just four times since 2000 — it is a team that the Chargers have struggled against.
