The Los Angeles Chargers are on a losing streak, suffering their third consecutive home loss to a team with a low winning percentage the previous season. They join only two other teams in NFL history to accomplish this feat. These teams are the 1926 Racine Tornadoes, whose season ended prematurely, and the 2022 Chargers, who lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Chargers' poor start was further marred by their inability to control the turnover battle, losing to Buffalo 24-16 on Sunday. The Chargers were part of a group of teams with a poor turnover ratio, losing to teams with a negative turnover margin. This dismal record is further emphasized by a stat from Evan Abrams of Action Network, which shows that since 2013, teams with five or more turnovers and a turnover margin of minus-four or more, have a losing record of 3-81-1.
