Chargers seek revenge and bounce-back game vs. Patriots

INGLEWOOD — Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams didn’t want to talk about it and running back Austin Ekeler preferred to look ahead, not back.

The Chargers have a revenge game Sunday against the New England Patriots at SoFi Stadium, but this isn’t your typical revenge situation, where a team is searching for payback because of a playoff loss or someone spoiled their postseason hopes.

Nothing good occurred during the Chargers’ 45-0 blowout loss against the Patriots at SoFi Stadium last year – unless you count 14 tackles from linebacker Kenneth Murray as a positive.

The Chargers hit rock bottom in the midst of a losing season during the embarrassing shutout at home, which was the largest margin of defeat in franchise history.
