The Los Angeles Chargers return this Sunday, October 27, for their first home game at SoFi Stadium since September 29, when the Chargers played and lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, 17-10. They will take on the New Orleans Saints, who are 2-5 on the season and in the midst of a five-game losing streak. The Chargers have struggled to score points this season, averaging 17.6 points per game, which places them tied at No. 26 in the NFL with the Tennessee Titans. The scoring issue showed up in the...
Against all odds in a hostile sea of red. Clearly it was one of the Rams' most satisfying regular season wins since the team returned to Los Angeles in 2016. And for a season home opener, it rivals Sean McVay's smashing debut victory as the Rams head coach in 2017. Sunday's unlikely 27-24 comeback thriller over the archrival 49ers at SoFi Stadium was significant on multiple levels. "It took all phases. It really did," said quarterback Matthew Stafford, whose leadership was the catalyst that prom...
That was no desert mirage in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday. The LA Rams took their second road hit of the season in as many games... in more ways than one. The team quickly finds itself in last place in the NFC West after being toasted by the Arizona Cardinals, 41-10, at State Farm Stadium. The Rams also lost the other half of their dynamic receiving duo, Cooper Kupp, due to an ankle injury. Rams head coach Sean McVay said that Kupp is expected to miss "an extended period of time." The team lost w...
The National Football League announced their full 2024 schedule on Wednesday evening and the schedule would seem to be very favorable to the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Los Angeles Chargers have completed the 2024 NFL Draft, their first under the new leadership of head coach Jim Harbaugh and general manager Joe Hortiz. The Chargers had nine draft picks from Round One through Round Seven in the three-day draft held in Detroit, Michigan last week. The Chargers accomplished their goals in this draft. The team wanted to improve the offensive line, and they drafted the top ranked offensive lineman in this draft, Joe Alt of Notre Dame. They needed to add wide...
In a surprising move, the Los Angeles Chargers traded star wide receiver Keenan Allen to the Chicago Bears for a 2024 fourth round draft pick (110th overall). Allen holds franchise records in receptions (904) and receiving yards (10,530) and is a six-time Pro Bowl selection, including the 2023 season. Allen was selected in the third round of the 2013 NFL draft by the Chargers. He played his college ball in Berkeley for the Cal Bears, where he was a first-team All-Pac-12 selection. He quickly...

The Los Angeles Chargers formally introduced Jim Harbaugh as their new head coach last Thursday at the YouTube theater at SoFi Stadium, in what felt like a celebration of a new era for Chargers football. The 60-year-old Harbaugh was considered the top coaching candidate available in this years' cycle and maybe the hottest coaching candidate in years. Harbaugh has won at the college and NFL level and led Michigan to an undefeated 15-0 record and the college football national championship this...
The Los Angeles Chargers last Monday announced the completion of their head coaching interview with University of Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh.

Harbaugh started 17 games in two seasons with the Chargers. Harbaugh...
Change is coming to the Los Angeles Chargers, and it cannot come soon enough. The Chargers fell to the Broncos in Denver last Sunday, 16-9, to slip to 5-11 for the 2023 season. The Chargers were able to get three field goals from kicker Cameron Dicker of 36, 50, and 52 yards to keep it close. Dicker is 8 for 8 on field goal attempts in the past two games and has become the offensive star for the Chargers. It is never a good sign when the field goal kicker is your offensive star. Backup...
The 2023 season for the Los Angeles Chargers has been a disappointment, and over the weekend it just got worse. Besides losing to the Denver Broncos, 24-7, the Chargers lost quarterback Justin Herbert for the season with a fractured finger on his right hand. The injury occurred late in the second quarter last Sunday afternoon at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. Herbert had successful surgery last Tuesday and was put on the Injured Reserve list, which means he is out for the next four games, or the...
Quarterback Justin Herbert sat alone in front of his locker after the game, having thrown for 323 yards and four touchdowns and leading the Los Angeles Chargers to a season-high 38 points. He sat there with a despondent look on his face, like he had given everything he had, but his team had still come up short, losing 41-38 to the Detroit Lions. Herbert made some outstanding throws under pressure in the game. But it was not enough to beat the Lions. The win improved the Lions to 7-2 for the seas...
In a pattern that has become very familiar to Los Angeles Charger fans, the Kansas City Chiefs and their potent passing attack once again proved to be too much for the Chargers, as the Chiefs knocked off the Chargers, 31-17 in Kansas City on Sunday. The win for the Chiefs improved their record to 6-1 in the AFC West, giving them a 3-game lead over the second place Las Vegas Raiders. The Chargers are now 2-4. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was 20-of-23 for 321 yards and three touchdowns in...
The Los Angeles Chargers used two explosive offensive plays and three turnovers to defeat the LasFootball-NFL Vegas Raiders, 24-17. The game was played last Sunday afternoon at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, with 70,240 fans in attendance, with at least 60% of the fans in attendance supporting the Raiders.

A promising start and a season home opener couldn't stop the Rams futility streak against NFC West archrival San Francisco 49ers. Los Angeles lost its ninth consecutive regular season game to the Niners, 30-23, before 74,742 fans at SoFi Stadium, seemingly half dressed in red 49er gear. The Rams stood toe-to-toe for the better part of three quarters on Sunday before turnovers helped seal their fate and first loss of the season. "I thought it was a high caliber game today. I was really pleased...
The Los Angeles Rams caught most critics by surprise by reeling off a convincing 30-13 season-opening victory on the road over a Division rival and projected contender, the Seattle Seahawks. Suddenly, the clock seemed to wind back to the 2021 season when the leadership of quarterback Matthew Stafford and defensive tackle Aaron Donald paved the way for the franchise's first title in Los Angeles. Preparing for only NFL Week #2, yet the win couldn't have come at a better time as arch-nemesis San...
The fastest player to ever play in the NFL was probably the late great Bob "Bullet" Hayes, the former Dallas Cowboy wide receiver and member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Hayes won the 1964 Olympic gold medal in the 100-meter dash in 10.06 seconds, tying the world record at the time. Today's version of Bob Hayes is Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who the Los Angeles Chargers are very familiar with. Hayes terrorized NFL secondaries in his playing days. Hill has often terrorized the...

After losing fifteen players in the 2022 NFL draft, six of which went in the first round, it might have been difficult to imagine that the Georgia Bulldogs could repeat as the FBS national champions of college football. But if you play college football in the Southeastern Conference, commonly referred to as the SEC, you just reload with talent. And there is never a lack of talent in the SEC. The Georgia Bulldog juggernaut finished off an undefeated 2022 season by crushing the TCU Horned Frogs, 6...

Two weeks ago, at the end of Week 13 of the NFL season, the Los Angeles Chargers were 6-6 and coming off a loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. They were struggling to stay healthy and struggling to win football games. Two weeks later, after back-to-back wins over the Miami Dolphins and the Tennessee Titans, the Chargers are getting healthy and are on the verge of making the 2022 NFL playoffs. The 17-14 victory last Sunday over the Titans was not a thing of beauty, but it got the job done. In the...
What's next? To compound matters for the 2022 Los Angeles Rams, the defending NFL Champions received more bad news on Tuesday when the team announced that wide receiver Cooper Kupp will undergo surgery on Wednesday for a high right ankle sprain.

The Los Angeles Rams received some more bad news on Wednesday when head coach Sean McVay announced that starting quarterback Matthew Stafford entered the concussion protocol last Tuesday. Stafford was injured during the loss to Tampa Bay last Sunday. "Still anticipating and having the optimistic approach that there's a possibility that he be ready to go," said McVay on Wednesday. If Stafford is not available the Rams will hand the ball to John Wolford, their 6'1, 200 pound back up. Things keep...
Two NFL teams headed in the wrong direction will meet at SoFi Stadium on Sunday at 1 p.m. The 2-3 Los Angeles Rams and the 1-4 Carolina Panthers will battle to see which team can get back on the winning track. Panther management was so upset with their teams’ performances that they fired the head coach last week.
