By Bill Seals Sports Reporter The late great John McKay, the former USC and Tampa Bay Buccaneer head coach, once said in answering a reporter's question after a game, "Well, we didn't block, but we made up for it by not tackling." The funny quote sums up the Los Angeles Chargers performance against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at the StubHub Center in Carson. The Eagles beat the Chargers 26-24 behind a dominant rushing attack that accounted for 214 yards. The Eagles were also able to hold...

In a tough hard fought game the Miami Dolphins held on for a 19-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday at the StubHub Center in Carson before 25,381 fans. The game was the home opener for the Chargers as well as the season opener for the Dolphins, who had their season opener with Tampa Bay postponed due to Hurricane Irma.

Monday Night Football the Los Angeles Chargers made the annual trip to Denver to open up the regular season. And for the fourth straight season came out on the losing end, 24-21, before a sellout crowd of 76,324 of very loud and proud Denver Bronco fans. The emotion of the crowd seemed to energize the Broncos and seemed to contribute to an inconsistent, out-of-sync performance by the Chargers for most of the game. As Philip River said: "We just never really got in a flow. A couple third downs...
The LA Chargers ended the 2017 preseason on Thursday Night at San Francisco, losing 23-13 to the 49ers. In a game with very little at stake other than some roster spots, neither team played their starters and both teams were just happy to get the preseason over with and move on to the regular season. Cardale Jones completed 18 of 24 passes for 158 yards and one interception and finally led the Chargers on a scoring drive (two fieldgoals). But five Charger turnovers ended up resulting in an easy...

They are attempting to develop some of their young players. It is not going well to this point, but that should not...
The Chargers' 2017 debut at StubHub Center was not what their fans expected even for an exhibition game. The number of Charger fans in attendance was not the kind of support the team expected even for an exhibition game. In a 27,000-seat stadium that is being expanded to 30,000 attendance was only 21,500. The result was a 48-17 beating on Sunday night, August 13 delivered by the visiting Seattle Seahawks. Expectedly, the extent of the Charger highlights was in the first seven minutes and 15...
With the start of training camp, the Chargers have officially arrived in Los Angeles.

The Chargers are coming off a disappointing 5-11 season in 2016. In reviewing last season, there are three things that stand out and need to change for any success in 2017. Number 1: The 2016 Chargers could not hold a lead. The...
The Los Angeles Chargers were very successful at the 2017 NFL Draft held in Philadelphia from April 27-29.
