There’s just something about these Patriots/Chargers matchups. The Chargers just don’t win these games.
The last time New England lost to the Chargers, they were still in San Diego, Matt Cassel was under center, and Tommy B was home getting nursed back to health from his ACL injury by his supermodel wife. And while everyone between those two teams back in 2008 have long since retired from football — save one, of course — nothing the Chargers have done since then has worked. And it’s nice to see Justin Herbert pick up where his predecessor left off, throwing picks and losing games to a Patriots team who have now won two straight.
