One stat puts Chargers’ woeful start in bitter context
It has been a difficult start to the 2026 NFL season for hte Los Angeles Chargers. But one bit of professional football history puts their dreadful 0-2 record in some difficult context. The Chargers, once again media darlings of the offseason, lost in Week 1 by a final score of 26-14 to the Arizona Cardinals. […]
The Los Angeles Chargers have had a rough start to the 2026 NFL season, losing their first two home games against teams that had a poor performance in the previous year. In Week 1, they fell to the Arizona Cardinals with a final score of 26-14, and on Sunday, they suffered another home defeat against the Las Vegas Raiders, ending 26-14.
This aligns with OptaStats, who noted that the Chargers are the second team in NFL history to lose two consecutive home games by double digits against teams with a losing record the previous season. The other historical team is the 1926 Racine Tornadoes, who folded after just one more game.
