But the rest of the division may have finally caught up, or at least the Chargers may have. The Los Angeles Chargers are coming off a 9-8 season in 2021, losing three of their last four...
Preseason games are a time to evaluate talent that you have faith in. They would not be in training camp if the team did not believe they could get the job done.

The Rams play the Houston Texans on Friday at 7 p.m. at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood in their second preseason game. Last...

On paper, the 2022 Los Angeles Chargers look like a very good football team. The offense, which was ranked 4th in the NFL in 2021, is already very good.

General Manager Tom Telesco and his staff had the team in good salary cap shape this past spring and the team was aggressive in free agency. The addition of outside linebacker Khalil Mack, cornerback J.C. Jackson, defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day, nose tackle...
