The Chargers opponents posted a 102-104-2 regular season record in 2018. Four of the teams on the schedule made the postseason and seven of the teams had a .500 or better record. The Chargers fi nished second in the AFC West and were 4-2 against divisional foes. The Bolts were strong on the road, fi nishing 7-1, including six straight to fi nish the regular season.

The Chargers put up 54 points and recorded six takeaways to run away to a 54-24 victory at home in 2017. The Bolts hold an all-time regular-season re-cord of 23-10-2 against the Bills, which is the franchise’s best regular-season winning percentage against any team.

The Chiefs have been a thorn in the side of the Chargers for the past few seasons. Kansas City once again swept the season series, moving their winning streak to eight games against the Bolts. This will be the fourth time the Char-gers host the Chiefs in the season-opener and the fi rst since 1992.

The Chargers swept their division rival for the fi rst time since the 2014 season. The Chargers used a last-second game-winning fi eld from Nick Novak to earn a 17-16 victory at Oakland. Philip Rivers then threw for 387 yards and three scores to lead the Bolts to a convincing, 30-10 win in the season fi nale.

The Chargers did not suffer a let down against the Browns in 2017 as the Bolts held on for a 19-10 home victory. Philip Rivers completed 31 passes for 344 yards while Keenan Allen became the fi rst player in NFL history to have 10+ catches, 100+ receiving yards and 1+ TD catch in three straight games.

While this is considered a home game for the Bolts, it will take place in London at Wembley Stadium. The Chargers have won nine of the past 10 games overall, including six straight at home. Los Angeles’ 1,068 points scored against Tennessee are the most among non-current division opponents.

Following a Week 8 bye, the Chargers head north to play their former AFC West foe. L.A. has posted fi ve-straight games with 20-plus points against Seattle, and no team has won a game in the series by double digits since 1998.The Bolts only have four wins in the last 15 meetings against the Seahawks.

The Chargers again split the season series against the Broncos. In the season opener on Monday Night Football, the Chargers saw their comeback bid fall short, 24-21. The Chargers got payback at home by blanking the division rival, 21-0. The shutout ended the second-longest scoring streak in NFL history.

The Chargers host Arizona for the fi rst time since 2010, which was a 41-10 victory. Los Angeles holds a 9-4 all-time advantage, including a 6-1 record as the home team. The Chargers have also won three of the last four against the Cardinals, scoring 20-plus points in all of those victories.

This is the Chargers’ fi rst trip to the Steel City since 2012, when Philip Rivers and Danario Alexander helped power a 34-24 upset over the Steelers. The Bolts have tallied 20-plus points in three of their past four games in Pitts-burgh while no team in the series has won by more than 10 points since 2003.

The Bengals head to Southern California for the fi rst time since 2013. Cin-cinnati has won the last four regular season contests, however, the Chargers did beat them when it mattered most over the eight-year span, defeating the Bengals 27-10 on the road in the Wild Card round of the 2013 playoffs.

It won’t be decided until after Week 8 whether the game will be held on Saturday, December 22 or Sunday, December 23. No matter when Baltimore heads west, it marks their fi rst trip to the Chargers since 2012. The last three contests have been separated by a combined seven points.

The Chargers won’t have to travel far as they take on the Rams. This meeting marks a clash of two of the league’s most explosive offenses as the Chargers ranked fourth and the Rams 10th in 2017. The two teams last met in 2014, a 27-24 victory for the Bolts.

Anthony Lynn is in his second season as a head coach in the National Football League after serving as Buffalo’s interim in Week 17 of the 2016 season. Lynn comes in with 83 games of playing experience under his belt, as well as two world championships on his résumé as a running back for the back-to-back Super Bowl champion Denver

Broncos (XXXII and XXXIII). Lynn has always had a passion for teaching the game. Immediately following his last season in 1999, Lynn assumed the role of offensive assistant and assistant to special teams in Denver in 2000. Lynn spent 12 years as a running backs coach for the Jaguars, Cowboys, Browns, Jets and Bills. He then landed his fi rst assistant head coaching position in New York with the Jets, while also coaching the running backs, and assumed the same position the following two seasons in Buffalo. The two seasons Lynn spent in Buffalo, the Bills led the NFL in both rushing yards (2,630 in 2016, and 2,432 in 2015) and rushing touchdowns (29 in 2016, and 19, tie in 2015). During his last two coaching stops (New York and Buffalo), Lynn’s offenses combined for a total 18,218 rushing yards during that span (2009-2016), the most combined yards in the NFL over that period. In his fi rst season at the helm in Los Angeles Lynn rallied the team after an 0-4 start to win nine of the fi nal 12 games, including six of the last seven contests. The Chargers fi nished 9-7 and just missed out on a playoff berth due to a tiebreaker. The nine wins over the 12-game span was the best mark since the team won the last 11 games of the 2009 season. The fi ve-straight home wins were also the best run on home turf since that 2009 season.

Bill Belichick completed his 43rd season as an NFL coach in 2017 and is in his 19th season as head coach of the New England Patriots. Belichick is the only head coach in NFL history to win fve Super Bowl titles. In 2017, Belichick won a division title for the ninth consecutive season and won an eighth conference championship as

a head coach, extending his NFL record in both categories. Belichick won 13 regularseason games for an NFL-record seventh time and secured his 15th AFC East Division title as Patriots head coach, the most in NFL history. Belichick entered 2018 with the most wins among all active coaches and is currently third all-time with 278 total victories as a head coach. Belichick’s winning percentage of .683 ranks frst in NFL history among coaches with 150 or more wins. He has led the Patriots to a winning record for 17 consecutive seasons (2001-17), trailing only Tom Landry, who recorded 20 consecutive winning seasons from 1966- 85. Belichick has also notched 28 postseason wins in his career, most by a head coach in NFL history. Belichick, who was hired by Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft on Jan. 27, 2000, is in his 19th season with the Patriots. In 18 seasons, Belichick has so far delivered fi ve Super Bowl championships, eight conference titles, 15 division crowns and 27 playoff victories. The Patriots have won 10 consecutive division championships, besting the seven won by the L.A. Rams (1973-79). Belichick directed the Patriots to victories in Super Bowls XXXVI (2001), XXXVIII (2003), XXXIX (2004), XLIX (2014) and LI (2016).

DE Melvin Ingram III punched the ball free for a fumble on Baltimore’s second offensive drive for his fi rst career postseason forced fumble. The ball was recovered by S Adrian Phillips to give the offense starting fi eld position at the Ravens 15-yard line, setting up a fi eld goal by K Michael Badgley.

Ingram posted another sack in the fourth quarter, giving him the most sacks by a Chargers defender in a postseason game since DE Raylee Johnson had two sacks in Super Bowl XXIX against San Francisco. He fi nished with seven total tackles, two sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery, becoming the sixth player in NFL postseason history to have two sacks, a forced fumble and a recovery in a game, and the fi rst since Kony Ealy did so in Super Bowl 50.

Phillips picked off a pass that was defl ected by CB Casey Hayward Jr. in the second quarter, becoming the fi rst Charger in postseason history with an interception and a fumble recovery in the same game. It was the fi rst time that any player did so in the postseason since Atlanta CB Robert Alford in Super Bowl LI against New England.

With a made 53-yard attempt late in the fi rst quarter, Badgley recorded the second-longest fi eld goal in team postseason annals. He fi nished the game with fi ve made fi eld goals and 15 points, setting a team record for the most single-game makes and points scored in Chargers postseason history. Badgley’s 15 points brought him past Kaeding (fi ve points in 2004 AFC Wild Card vs. New York Jets) for the most points by a Chargers rookie kicker in a single postseason game.

TE Antonio Gates posted 26 yards on three catches, bringing him to 490 career postseason receiving yards to pass Russ Francis (474) and Jason Witten (486) for the 10th-most by a tight end in NFL postseason history. Gates also reached 46 career postseason catches, passing Witten for No. 8 among tight ends in postseason annals.

In the fi rst quarter, DE Joey Bosa recorded the fi rst postseason sack of his career with a six-yard takedown to force a Baltimore punt. CB Desmond King II returned the ensuing punt 33 yards, good for the longest postseason punt return in team annals.

King returned the opening kickoff of the second half 72 yards, good for the second-longest in Chargers postseason history to only trail a 98-yarder for a touchdown by WR Andre Coleman in Super Bowl XXIX against San Francisco.

On the fi rst defensive possession of the second half, DT Justin Jones and Ingram had back-to-back sacks, both the fi rst of their postseason careers.

LB Uchenna Nwosu had a strip-sack to seal the game in the fourth quarter, giving him and Jones gave him the most postseason sacks by a Chargers rookie in history, passing LB Shaun Phillips (0.5 sacks in 2004 postseason).

RB Melvin Gordon III returned from a knee injury to punch in a one-yard rushing score in the fourth quarter for the game’s fi rst touchdown.

• Jahleel Addae set a then-career high with eight tackles, including six solo stops and forced his fi rst career fumble in his fi rst game against the Patriots.

• Antonio Gates registered his fourth career 100-yard receiving game in his fi rst appearance against the Patriots. Gates caught six passes for 108 yards and averaged 18 yards per catch.

• During his career, Antonio Gates has totaled 36 catches for 407 yards and three touchdowns against the Patriots in nine games.

• In the two postseason matchups, Gates hauled in eight passes for 78 yards.

• Playing for Seattle, Brandon Mebane had three quarterback hits and one sack against the Patriots on Dec. 7, 2008.

• Mebane equaled his career high in tackles when he recorded seven against New England on Oct. 14, 2012.

• Philip Rivers has faced the Patriots eight times during his career and had three games with more than three hundred yards passing. Rivers is 170-for-279 for 2,041 yards and 10 touchdowns.

• In the 30-10 victory over the Patriots on Oct. 12, 2008, Rivers was 18-for-27 for 306 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. Rivers posted a rating of 141.9. For his effort, he was named the FedEx Air NFL Player of the Week.

• In one of the gutsiest performances, Rivers, playing on a torn ACL, and less than a week after getting his knee scoped, attempted 37 passes and threw for 211 yards in the Conference Championship Game on Jan. 20, 2008.

• Melvin Gordon broke an 87-yard run for a score to tie a franchise record in his lone appearance against the Patriots. Gordon fi nished with 132 yards and the ground and averaged 9.4 yards per carry.

• Adrian Phillips set a career high with 12 total tackles in the 2017 matchup.

CHARGERS IN THE LAST 12 GAMES OF 2017

The Chargers fi nished the 2017 season in impressive fashion, winning nine of their last 12 games. The offense fl ourished over that span from Week 5 on. The Bolts ranked fourth in total offense, passing and fi rst downs in the NFL. The Chargers outscored their opponents 283-179 over that span, threw for 3,444 yards and 22 TDs to only seven INTs and rushed for 1,325 yards and seven scores.

THE ROOKIE IMPACT IN 2018

The Chargers drafted defensive players with their fi rst four selections of the 2018 draft. Those picks are paying dividends in 2018. First-round selection Derwin James has been used all over the fi eld and his versatility has shown. The Florida State standout is fi rst on the team with 105 combined tackles, 3.5 sacks, three in-terceptions and 13 passes defensed. Uchenna Nwosu has posted 3.5 sacks while Kyzir White has totaled 16 tackles, an interception and as two passes defensed before going on IR. Justin Jones has worked his way onto the fi eld to register 16 total tackles and half a sack. On top of the defensive youth, RB Justin Jackson has rushed for 206 yards on 50 carries with two touchdowns. (Press box totals were used)

2018 OFFENSIVE PLAYER NOTES

In the Week 4 victory over San Francisco, Austin Ekeler hauled in the fifth TD pass of his career. The five receiving scores over his first two years made him the first undrafted RB to do so in his first two seasons since 1966. Ekeler added a sixth TD reception in Week 5. Ekeler is also tied for the third-most TD catches by an undrafted RB in Chargers history.

Ekeler reached 525 career receiving yards in the team’s Week 9 win over Seattle, the most by a Chargers undrafted running back in the first two seasons of his career. Ekeler’s 683 receiving yards are the most by an undrafted running back through his first two seasons since Arian Foster registered 697 from 2009-10.

2018 OFFENSIVE PLAYER NOTES

GORDON OFF AND RUNNING

Melvin Gordon III has made his impact felt from the moment he donned the Powder Blues. Gordon tied a single-season career high with three 100-yard rush-ing performances in 2018, moving into a tie for the seventh-most in team annals. The 2015 first-round pick has become one of the best running backs in Chargers history, quickly climbing the team record books into the top-six in career rushing attempts, yards and TDs.

Already one of the best runners in team history, Melvin Gordon III has emerged as a dual-threat running back for the Bolts. Especially in the past two seasons, he has proven to be a reliable target for QB Philip Rivers, solidifying himself as one of the 10 best all-around running backs in Chargers history.

In Week 11 vs. Denver, Gordon eclipsed 5,000 yards from scrimmage for his career in just his 52nd career game to become the third-fastest player and sec-ond-fastest running back in team history to reach that mark.

TOO LIUGET TO QUIT

In Michael Badgley’s NFL debut in Week 6 at Cleveland, he successfully kicked five extra points and a 44-yard field goal for eight points. His five made PATs tied for the most in a player’s first career game in Chargers history.

Badgley continued his success with the Bolts, re-writing the team’s kicking record books for points and made field goals to start a career. In the Week 13 victory over Pittsburgh, Badgley nailed a game-winning 29-yard field goal as time expired, the first such kick in his career.

BADGE OF HONOR

CB Desmond King II helped spark a come-from-behind victory over the Steelers on Sunday Night Football in Week 13 with a 73-yard punt return for a TD, becom-ing the 15th Charger in history to return a punt for a score. With his 42-yard pick-six against Seattle in Week 9, King is the first player since 2011 and just the seventh since 2000 to post a punt return TD and a pick-six in the same season.

THE RETURN OF THE KING

Badgley brought consistency to the Bolts’ kicking game. In his 10 games played, he made 15-of-16 field goals (93.8 pct.) and 27-of-28 extra points (96.4 pct.) for 72 total points scored. His 93.8 field goal percentage set a team single-season mark for the best in Chargers history with at least 15 made field goals.

With a 59-yard field goal to close out the first half in a Week 14 win over Cincinnati, Badgley set a record for the longest field goal in team history. It was the the third-longest field goal by any kicker in NFL history within his first seven career games and the fourth-longest in a player’s first 16 career contests.

• Gates caught his fi rst touchdown pass of the 2018 season in Week 4 vs. San Francisco. When he did, he moved one season closer for the longest active season streak with at least one touchdown (16 seasons). It’s the second-longest streak among tight ends all time. Tony Gonzalez (17 seasons) holds the all-time record.

GATES PASSES 900 CATCHES• Antonio Gates added six catches in the win at the Jets on Dec. 24.

That moved him into the top-20 all-time. His four catches against Kansas City on Dec. 13 moved him pass Andre Reed for 17th all-time.

HEAD COACH ANTHONY LYNN

On Jan. 13, 2017, the Los Angeles Chargers named Anthony Lynn the 16th head coach in franchise history and the fi rst African-American head coach in team annals. Lynn joined the Chargers after spending the 2015-16 seasons as the assistant head coach and running backs coach for the Buffalo Bills. In his fi rst season at the helm in Los Angeles Lynn rallied the team after an 0-4 start to win nine of the fi nal 12 games, including six of the last seven contests. The Chargers fi nished 9-7 and just missed out on a playoff berth due to a tiebreaker. The nine wins over the 12-game span was the best mark since the team won the last 11 games of the 2009 season. The fi ve-straight home wins were also the best run on home turf since that 2009 season. Lynn put his imprint on the team in year one. The Bolts turned the ball over just 15 times in 2017 to rank tied for fourth in the NFL after a season in which they were dead last with 35 turnovers. The offensive line led the league in the least amount of sacks allowed with 18. The Chargers haven’t led the league in the least amount of sacks allowed since in the AFL in 1968. A native of Celina, Texas, some 40 miles north of Dallas, Lynn was an All-Southwest Conference running back as a collegian at Texas Tech, where he rushed for 1,911 yards and 17 touchdowns on 481 carries. That helped him earn a ticket to the NFL where he signed with the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent in 1992. After being released by the Giants, Lynn signed with Denver in 1993 and appeared in 13 games for the Broncos. In 1994, he suffered a broken leg and spent the year on injured reserve. Lynn moved on to the Bay Area in 1995, spending two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers (1995-96) before concluding his career in Denver (1997-99) where he won back-to-back Super Bowl championships (XXXII and XXXIII) with the Broncos. Lynn hung up his cleats after the ‘99 season, having played in 83 career games. Lynn jumped right into the coaching ranks in 2000, spending three seasons (2000-02) with the Broncos as an offensive assistant and assistant to special teams. In 2003, he landed his fi rst full-time position gig as the running backs coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars (2003-04). That was followed by similar positions with the Dallas Cowboys (2005-06), Cleveland Browns (2007-08), New York Jets (2009-14) and Bills (2015-16). Lynn carried the additional title of assistant head coach in New York in 2014 and with the Bills for his two seasons there. Lynn spent the last two seasons (2015-16) with the Bills, including the fi nal 14 games of the 2016 season as their offensive coordinator and the fi nal game of the year as their interim head coach. The Bills led the NFL in both of Lynn’s seasons in both rushing yards (2,630 in 2016 and 2,432 in 2015) and rushing touchdowns (29 in 2016 and 19, tie in 2015). The Bills also led the League in average yards per carry (5.3 in 2016 and 4.8, tie in 2015) in each of his two seasons in Upstate New

York. More impressively, at his last two coaching stops (New York and Buffalo), his teams combined to rush for 18,218 yards during that span (2009-16), the most combined yards in the NFL over that time period. In Week 16 of the 2016 season, as Offensive Coordinator for the Bills, Lynn led the offense to a franchise-record 589 total yards. The fact that Lynn is coaching today is a miracle in and of itself. Back in 2005, early in Lynn’s fi rst season with the Cowboys, he was hit by a drunk driver while crossing a street. The impact was so violent that it’s a miracle he survived. The accident happened as Lynn was leaving a restaurant following dinner with several Cowboys coaches. The impact threw him an estimated 40-50 feet and he landed on top of a parked Volkswagen. The force of the impact totaled the car. Pittsburgh Steelers Offensive Coordinator Todd Haley was with Lynn at the time. He narrowly avoided being hit himself and was the fi rst to render aid to Lynn. The damage tally was extensive – two collapsed lungs, three broken ribs, major facial and shoulder damage that required four surgeries and temporary paralysis – yet despite it all, Lynn walked out of the hospital in less than two weeks. Lynn was raised in Texas by a single mom, Betty Jackson, a former all-state basketball player who had coaching aspirations herself. Lynn’s maternal grandfather, Tommy Lynn, a farmer and former baseball catcher, helped raise Anthony. Mother and grandfather helped instill a tireless work ethic in Lynn at an early age. By 13, he was working 40-60 hour weeks doing construction in the summertime. He worked his way up the construction ladder and had become a foreman by the time he was in high school. One of his responsibilities was driving his crew to job sites for a company that built shopping malls and custom homes. It spurned an interest in interior design and Lynn initially studied interior fashion design in college. Lynn has since reconnected with his father, Donald Wilson, a Los Angeles native who once tried out for the Dodgers as a left-handed pitcher. Wilson now resides in Corona. Lynn is married to Stacey Bell Lynn. He has two children, son, D’Anton, and daughter, Danielle. Stacey is a news anchor at WNBC in New York City. D’Anton played football collegiately at Penn State and professionally with the New York Jets and the Canadian Football League’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats and currently is the assistant defensive backs coach for the Houston Texans. Danielle studied at the University of Oklahoma and is currently in graduate school at the University of North Texas. In the spring of 2018, Lynn completed his college degree after leaving school for the NFL 26 years ago. Despite being in his fi rst year as a head coach, Lynn received his degree in interdisciplinary studies from UNLV.

GENERAL MANAGER TOM TELESCO

With a keen eye for acquiring talented players, Tom Telesco serves his sixth season as General Manager of the Chargers in 2018. Telesco was hired by the Chargers in January 2013. Forty years old at the time of his hiring, he became the youngest general manager in team history. Telesco immediately helped the Chargers return to the playoffs in 2013 with a roster that featured 25 players who joined the team prior to or during the season. His fi rst draft featured 2013 Pepsi Next NFL Rookie of the Year Keenan Allen. In 2017, Allen went on to break the Chargers’ single-season receptions record and posted the second most receiving yards in team history en route to being named the NFL Comeback Player of the Year and earning his fi rst Pro Bowl nod. Over his fi ve years with the organization, Telesco has drafted three pro bowlers in the fi rst round in Jason Verrett, Melvin Gordon and Joey Bosa. Telesco also has a proven track record with undrafted free agents. His fi nds have been highlighted by deep-threat and 1,000-yard receiver Tyrell Williams out of Western Oregon, special teams stalwart Nick Dzubnar from Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, running back Austin Ekeler out of Western State and Central Michigan safety Jahleel Addae. On top of his draft choices, Telesco has brought in some of the top free agent talents in the NFL. Casey Hayward has blossomed into one of the top corners in the league, making back-to-back Pro Bowls in 2016-17 while offensive tackle Russell Okung made the Pro Bowl in his fi rst season with the team in 2017. His signings also include defensive tackle Brandon Mebane, wide receiver/punt returner Travis Benjamin and his latest being three-time Pro Bowl center Mike Pouncey in 2018. A native of Buffalo, N.Y., Telesco prepped at St. Francis High School in Athol Springs, N.Y. Days prior to Super Bowl XLVIII in January 2014, which was co-hosted by New York and New Jersey, Telesco was recognized for his accomplishments on the fl oor of the New York State Senate by Senator Timothy Kennedy. After graduating from St. Francis, Telesco played wide receiver at John Carroll University in Ohio. He was a starter on the Blue Streaks’ 1994 Ohio Athletic Conference Championship team, and two of his teammates at John Carroll were Chris and Brian Polian, sons of Bill Polian, a 2015 inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

While attending John Carroll, Telesco spent four summers (1991-94) as a training camp intern with the Buffalo Bills. At that time, the elder Polian was the Bills’ general manager. Polian left Buffalo for Carolina in 1994 and after Telesco graduated from John Carroll with a degree in business management in 1995, Polian hired him to work in the Panthers’ scouting department. In 1998, Telesco and Polian moved on to Indianapolis, where Telesco would spend his next 15 NFL seasons as a college scout, pro scout, director of pro scouting, director of player personnel and vice president of football operations. He worked in Indianapolis during Peyton Manning’s entire career with the Colts and later part of the team that brought Andrew Luck to the Colts with the fi rst pick of the 2012 NFL Draft. Telesco also was involved in Colts drafts that featured four-time Pro Bowl running back Edgerrin James, fi ve-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Reggie Wayne, Dwight Freeney, a seven-time Pro Bowler as a Colt and two-time Pro Bowl selection and Defensive Player of the Year Bob Sanders. Telesco’s tenure in Indianapolis was one of the most successful eras in Colts history. They played in two Super Bowls, including a victory over Chicago in Super Bowl XLI. From 1998-2012, the Colts won 154 regular-season games, eight division titles and they appeared in the playoffs 12 times. Indianapolis set an NFL record with 12 or more wins in seven consecutive seasons and they won an NFL-record 23 straight regular-season games during the 2008-09 seasons. Their 115 regular-season wins from 2000-09 set an NFL record for wins in a decade. In 2015 and this year in 2018, Telesco was invited to be a speaker at the NFL’s Career Development Symposium in Arizona. The program, attended by nearly 70 coaches and front offi ce executives, was designed to engage aspiring head coach and general manager candidates. Telesco was one of only two active general managers invited to address participants at the symposium. He is also the co-chairman of the NFL General Manager Advisory Committee. Telesco and his wife, Larah, have a daughter, Elena, and two sons, Thomas and Nicholas.

WEEK 1 RECAP - CHIEFS 38, CHARGERS 28

The Los Angeles Chargers dropped their season opener to the Kansas City Chiefs 38-28 Sunday from ROKiT Field at StubHub Center. Running backs Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler combined for 292 total yards and a touchdown, but it wasn’t enough to make up for the explosiveness of wide receiver Tyreek Hill and the rest of the Chiefs’ high-powered offense. Kansas City has now won its last nine games over the Chargers. After a three-and-out by the Chargers offense to begin the game, Hill returned a punt 91 yards for a touchdown to make the score 7-0 after a Harrison Butker extra point. Los Angeles responded with an eight-play, 48-yard drive that ended with Caleb Sturgis converting a 45-yard fi eld goal – his fi rst with the Chargers. Kansas City led 7-3, but Hill wasn’t done adding to the visitors’ lead. On the fi fth play of the Chiefs’ next possession, quarterback Patrick Mahomes found Hill over the middle for a 58-yard touchdown – 46 of those yards came after the catch. Hill touched the ball three times in the fi rst quarter, scored two touchdowns and gained 179 all-purpose yards. Kansas City led 14-6 after the fi rst quarter. The Chargers found their rhythm on offense early in the second quarter. Gordon and Ekeler combined for 75 total yards on a 12-play, 96-yard drive that was capped off by a

13-yard Ekeler touchdown reception from Philip Rivers. A failed two-point conversion cut Kansas City’s lead to 14-12. The Chiefs added a 46-yard Butker fi eld goal to extend their advantage to 17-12 at halftime. Kansas City opened the second half with an 11-play, 75-yard touchdown drive. A one-yard reception from Mahomes to wide receiver De’Anthony Thomas made the score 24-12 after another Butker extra point. Mahomes would later hit fullback Anthony Sherman for a 36-yard touchdown, giving the Chiefs a 31-12 advantage after three quarters. Rivers found wide receiver Keenan Allen for a 20-yard touchdown reception to open the fourth quarter, cutting Kansas City’s lead to 31-20 after Antonio Gates caught the two-point conversion. Rivers fi nished the game 34-of-51 for 424 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. Allen caught eight balls for 108 yards and a touchdown. Gordon fi nished with 166 total yards and added a two-point conversion. Ekeler had 126 total yards and a receiving touchdown.

WEEK 2 RECAP - CHARGERS 31, BILLS 20

The Los Angeles Chargers beat the Buffalo Bills 31-20 on Sunday at New Era Field for their fi rst win of the 2018 season. Running back Melvin Gordon scored three touchdowns – all in the fi rst half – while Philip Rivers spread the ball to six different receivers and fi nished an effi cient 23-of-27 for 256 yards and three touchdowns. The Chargers’ defense was credited with fi ve sacks. They hit rookie quarterback Josh Allen eight times and picked him off twice. A pair of Chargers defensive rookies set the early tone for a dominant fi rst half. On Buffalo’s fi rst possession, Allen – while trying to avoid a blitzing Derwin James – was sacked by linebacker Uchenna Nwosu. James added a tackle for loss later in the fi rst quarter. Both defensive plays were key in setting up the Chargers’ fi rst two scores of the day. Wide receiver Mike Williams caught his fi rst career touchdown – a 10-yard pass from Rivers – to give L.A. a 7-0 lead. It capped a three-play, 38-yard drive which also included a 25-yard reception by tight end Virgil Green. On the Bolts’ next offensive possession, Gordon fi nished a six-play, 61-yard drive with a 20-yard touchdown run. Los Angeles led 14-0 after the fi rst quarter – and Gordon wasn’t done.

After a Buffalo fi eld goal, the Chargers marched down the fi eld again courtesy of two Austin Ekeler rushes (22 and 16 yards) and a 23-yard reception by Green. This time, Gordon scored on a nine-yard reception from Rivers. The hat trick for No. 28 came on a two-yard touchdown reception from Rivers with two minutes remaining in the second quarter. Los Angeles led 28-6 at halftime. Gordon fi nished the game with 66 total yards. Ekeler rushed for a career-high 77 yards on 11 carries. Defensive end Melvin Ingram notched 1.5 sacks and three quarterback hits. James had six total tackles – two for loss – and a sack. Safety Adrian Phillips and rookie linebacker Kyzir White added two second-half interceptions of Allen. Dating back to last season, Los Angeles has outscored Buffalo 85-44 in two meetings.

WEEK 3 RECAP - RAMS 35, CHARGERS 23

The Rams defeated the Chargers 35-23 Sunday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Wide receiver Mike Williams caught two touchdown passes from Philip Rivers and running back Melvin Gordon added a score, but it wasn’t enough to overcome 33 fi rst downs and 521 yards of total offense by the Rams. The Chargers defense prevented Rams points on the opening possession of the game when cornerback Desmond King recovered a Todd Gurley fumble -- forced by defensive tackle Brandon Mebane -- at the Bolts’ 24-yard line. The Chargers offense went three-and-out, though, and the Rams didn’t make the same mistake on their next possession. Gurley capped off an 11-play, 80-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown run. The Rams led 7-0, but only for 92 seconds. Gordon opened the Chargers’ next possession with a 20-yard rush that included an acrobatic leap over Rams safety Lamarcus Joyner. Two plays later, Rivers found Williams, who beat cornerback Marcus Peters for a 42-yard touchdown reception. Caleb Sturgis missed the extra point, which made the score 7-6. The Rams closed the fi rst quarter with a three-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff to Robert Woods. It was all part of a seven-play, 75-yard drive that put the Rams up 14-6.

With the Rams threatening to score again, rookie safety Derwin James picked off Goff in the end zone for his fi rst career interception. The Chargers offense took over at their own one-yard line, but quickly went three-and-out. On fourth down, Drew Kaser’s punt was blocked by linebacker Cory Littleton and recovered by Blake Countess in the end zone for a Rams touchdown. A Sam Ficken extra point increased the lead to 21-6. Down two scores, the Chargers then drove down the fi eld in ten plays. Gordon’s 11-yard touchdown rush – aided by a key block by fullback Derek Watt -- cut the Rams’ lead to 21-13. That score would stay true after Ficken missed a 46-yard fi eld goal to close the fi rst half. A Keenan Allen fumble on the opening drive of the second half set the Rams offense up at their own 45-yard line. Three plays later, Goff found wide receiver Cooper Kupp for a 53-yard touchdown reception. Williams’ big day continued on the Bolts’ next possession. On a crucial 4th-and-2, Rivers found the second-year receiver for a 20-yard touchdown strike. The Chargers shaved the lead to 28-20, but stopping the Rams explosive offense proved to be too much. Woods caught 10 of his 11 targets for 92 yards. His second touchdown -- a six-yard reception in the third quarter -- put the Rams up two scores. Rivers fi nished the game 18-of-30 for 226 yards and two touchdowns. Gordon rushed for 80 yards on 15 carries.

WEEK 4 RECAP - CHARGERS 29, 49ERS 27

The Los Angeles Chargers rallied from 14 points down in the fi rst quarter to beat the San Francisco 49ers 29-27 Sunday from ROKiT Field at StubHub Center. Philip Rivers threw for 250 yards and three touchdowns on a day when he also passed John Elway for the eighth-most passing yards in league history. Running back Melvin Gordon racked up 159 total yards, caught seven passes and scored his fi fth touchdown of the season. The game was put on ice in the fourth quarter after rookie safety Derwin James hit 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard, causing him to make an errant throw that was intercepted by defensive end Isaac Rochell. Los Angeles improved to 2-2 on the season and secured their fi rst home win of 2018 despite an inauspicious start. Less than one minute into the game, Rivers was intercepted by 49ers cornerback Antone Exum Jr., who returned the ball 32 yards for a touchdown. A Robbie Gould extra point gave San Francisco an early 7-0 lead. The Chargers went three-and-out on their second offensive possession, and the third resulted in a 54-yard missed fi eld goal by Caleb Sturgis. San Francisco capitalized on its fi eld position with a six-play, 56-yard drive that ended with a two-yard touchdown pass from Beathard to wide receiver Kendrick Bourne. Down two scores early, the Chargers offense marched 75 yards in seven plays. Rivers found tight end Antonio Gates for a fi ve-yard touchdown, but Sturgis missed the extra point. It was 14-6 San Francisco after the fi rst quarter. The Rivers-to-Gates touchdown was

the 88th of their career. After a 49ers fi eld goal, Rivers threw his second touchdown in as many drives – this time connecting with running back Austin Ekeler for a 22-yard strike. Rivers then hit Gordon for the two-point conversion to tighten San Francisco’s lead to 17-14. With 30 seconds remaining in the second quarter, cornerback Desmond King returned a Bradley Pinion punt 56 yards to San Francisco’s 33-yard line. Two plays later, Sturgis’ 48-yard fi eld goal tied the game 17-17 at halftime. James’ third sack of the season set the tone for the second half. San Francisco was again forced to punt to King, whose 21-yard return put the Chargers at their own 49-yard line. Six plays later, Gordon caught a six-yard touchdown pass from Rivers to put Los Angeles up 23-17 after Sturgis’ second missed extra point of the day. The 49ers – aided by a pair of roughing-the-passer penalties – were threatening to score at Los Angeles’ eight-yard line until a Beathard pass bounced off the chest of Garrett Celek and into the arms of cornerback Trevor Williams. Williams returned the ball 86 yards to San Francisco’s 12-yard line. A Sturgis 25-yard fi eld goal would increase Los Angeles’ lead to 26-17 but it didn’t hold for long. Later in the quarter, Beathard hooked up with tight end George Kittle for an 82-yard touchdown. It was 26-24 Chargers after the third quarter. Both teams traded fi eld goals in the fourth quarter before Rochell’s interception sealed the win.

WEEK 5 RECAP - CHARGERS 26, RAIDERS 10

The Los Angeles Chargers beat the Oakland Raiders 26-10 on Sunday from ROKiT Field at StubHub Center for their fi rst division win of 2018. Running backs Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler combined for 179 total yards and two touchdowns. It was the tenth straight game that Gordon has had either 100 yards from scrimmage or a touchdown – or both. Defensive end Melvin Ingram spearheaded a complete defensive performance with seven tackles (two for loss), a sack and an interception of quarterback Derek Carr with the Raiders threatening to score late in the third quarter. Quarterback Philip Rivers fi nished 22-of-27 for 339 yards and two touchdowns. Keenan Allen led the team in receiving with 90 yards on eight catches. The win moved Los Angeles (3-2) to over .500 for the fi rst time this season. Los Angeles opened the game with a seven-play, 37-yard drive highlighted by a 16-yard Gordon rush. Kicker Caleb Sturgis was good from 49 yards out to give the Chargers an early 3-0 lead.

The Raiders tied the game at 3-3 in the second quarter with a 24-yard fi eld goal by Matt McCrane, but that was as close as the visitors would get. With 4:14 remaining in the second quarter, Ekeler took a short pass from Philip Rivers and raced 44 yards for Los Angeles’ fi rst touchdown on the day. Sturgis’ extra point made it 10-3. On the fi rst play of Oakland’s next possession, Chargers linebacker Jatavis Brown forced wide receiver Martavis Bryant to fumble after a 21-yard gain. Safety Jahleel Addae recovered the ball, putting Los Angeles back in business at the Raiders’ 48-yard line. Six plays later -- on a drive that included a 34-yard reception by Gordon -- No. 28 punched in a one-yard touchdown run. Los Angeles led 17-3 at halftime. In the second half, the Chargers added a fi eld goal and a 13-yard touchdown from Rivers to tight end Virgil Green to put the game out of reach.

WEEK 6 RECAP - CHARGERS 38, BROWNS 14

The Los Angeles Chargers beat the Cleveland Browns 38-14 Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium for their third straight win. Los Angeles’ high-powered offense was paced by running back Melvin Gordon, who scored three touchdowns on 150 total yards, 132 of which came on the ground (7.3 yards per carry). Gordon now has nine total touchdowns on the season. As a team, the Chargers rushed for 246 yards. Wide receiver Tyrell Williams caught three passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns from Philip Rivers in the span of less than seven minutes in the second quarter. The Chargers manufactured 449 yards of total offense. Cleveland was overmatched on both sides of the ball. Browns quarterback Baker Mayfi eld went 22-of-46 for 238 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions -- both by cornerback Desmond King. Mayfi eld was also sacked fi ve times. The Browns offense stalled on the game’s fi rst series after safety Rayshawn Jenkins and defensive tackle Corey Liuget split a sack on Mayfi eld. Cornerback Desmond King’s 32-yard punt return put Los Angeles’ offense at its own 43-yard line. In fi ve plays, the Chargers went 57 yards for their fi rst opening drive touchdown in 22

games. Gordon’s four-yard score put Los Angeles up 7-0 after new kicker Michael Badgley made the extra point. Mayfi eld was sacked three times in the fi rst quarter – 1.5 of them by defensive tackle Damion Square on back-to-back plays. The Browns got on the board at the start of the second quarter with a 33-yard fi eld goal by Greg Joseph to make the score 7-3. Williams’ explosive second quarter started with a 44-yard reception from Rivers. On the next play, Williams – surrounded by three defenders – hauled in a 45-yard touchdown. The two-play, 89-yard drive extended Los Angeles’ lead to 14-3. With 57 seconds remaining in the half, Rivers found Williams again – this time for a 29-yard touchdown on 3rd-and-6. Los Angeles led 21-6 at halftime. The fi rst of King’s two interceptions came with 12:05 remaining in the third quarter. His 33-yard return put Los Angeles at the Browns’ 10-yard line. On the next play, Gordon punched it in from 10 yards out to increase the lead to 28-6. Rivers fi nished the game 11-of-20 for 207 yards, two touchdowns and an interception before giving way to Geno Smith. Badgley made all fi ve of his extra points and added a 44-yard fi eld goal in the fourth quarter.

WEEK 7 RECAP - CHARGERS 20, TITANS 19

The Chargers improved to 5-2 Sunday after beating the Tennessee Titans 20-19 at Wembley Stadium in London. The game was decided when safety Adrian Phillips tipped Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota’s pass on a two-point conversion attempt after tight end Luke Stocker scored a touchdown with 35 seconds remaining. Quarterback Philip Rivers went 19-of-26 for 306 yards and two long touchdown passes to a pair of Williams. Tyrell Williams had 118 receiving yards for the second straight game, while Mike Williams added 55 receiving yards on his fourth touchdown of the season. Running back Austin Ekeler had 68 total yards on 17 touches in place of Melvin Gordon, who was inactive with a hamstring injury. Tennessee struck fi rst on an 11-play, 55-yard drive to open the game. Ryan Succop’s 28-yard fi eld goal gave the Titans an early 3-0 lead. It didn’t take long for Los Angeles to respond, though. On the offense’s fi rst play from scrimmage, Rivers hooked up with wide receiver Tyrell Williams for a 75-yard touchdown. Michael Badgley’s extra point made it 7-3 Chargers. After a three-and-out which included a sack by defensive tackle Darius Philon, the

Chargers’ offense put together a 10-play drive ending in a 29-yard Badgley fi eld goal. Los Angeles led 10-3 after the fi rst quarter. The Titans added another fi eld goal and were threatening to score again before the half. With 39 seconds remaining, linebacker Denzel Perryman picked off a Melvin Ingram-defl ected Mariota pass at Los Angeles’ four-yard line and returned it 16 yards. The Chargers entered halftime with a 10-6 lead. Los Angeles’ quick-strike offense opened the second half with a three-play, 75-yard drive. This time, Rivers went deep to wide receiver Mike Williams for a 55-yard touchdown to make the score 17-6. A 37-yard kick return by Darius Jennings coupled with an unnecessary roughness penalty by safety Rayshawn Jenkins set Tennessee up at the Chargers’ 42-yard line on its next possession. Seven plays later, running back Derrick Henry scored from one-yard out to close the gap to 17-13. The Chargers added another Badgley fi eld goal -- this one from 28 yards out -- to increase their lead to 20-13. In two games, Badgley has been perfect on fi eld goals (3-of-3) and extra points (7-of-7).

WEEK 9 RECAP - CHARGERS 25, SEAHAWKS 17

The Los Angeles Chargers beat the Seattle Seahawks 25-17 Sunday at CenturyLink Field for their fi fth straight win. In perhaps the most diffi cult place in the NFL to play as the opponent, the Chargers improved to 6-2 – their best start since 2006. Quarterback Philip Rivers went 13-of-26 for 228 yards and two touchdowns in his 200th consecutive start. Running back Melvin Gordon rushed for 113 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries after missing Los Angeles’ last game with a hamstring injury. Wide receiver Keenan Allen had a season-high 124 receiving yards on six receptions. Down eight in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks had the ball at the Chargers’ one-yard line with one untimed down remaining before Seattle was called for a false start. On the fi nal play, a Russell Wilson pass to wide receiver David Moore was incomplete in the end zone. Seattle opened the game with a 13-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that took up over eight minutes of the clock. After nine rushes in 12 plays, Wilson’s 10-yard strike to wide receiver Jaron Brown gave the Seahawks an early 7-0 lead. Los Angeles responded with a 10-play, 94-yard touchdown drive that began with a

28-yard rush by Allen. On the last play of the fi rst quarter, Rivers found wide receiver Tyrell Williams for a 12-yard score, but kicker Caleb Sturgis missed the extra point. Seattle led 7-6 entering the second quarter. For Williams, it was his fourth touchdown in the last three games. For the Chargers, it was their third straight game with an opening drive touchdown. After forcing a three-and-out, Los Angeles needed just four plays to get back in the end zone. Gordon’s 34-yard rushing touchdown – set up by a 54-yard Allen reception from Rivers – put the Chargers up 12-7. Their two-point conversion attempt was no good. Later in the quarter, Rivers orchestrated the Bolts’ third touchdown drive of the half. This time, he found wide receiver Mike Williams, who tightroped the sideline 30 yards for his fi fth touchdown of the season. The Chargers led 19-10 at halftime. Their fi nal two touchdown drives of the fi rst half took up just 1:59 of the clock combined. In the fourth quarter, cornerback Desmond King intercepted Wilson and returned it 42 yards for a touchdown to put the Chargers up 25-10.

WEEK 10 RECAP - CHARGERS 20, RAIDERS 6

The Los Angeles Chargers improved to 7-2 Sunday after beating the Raiders 20-6 at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. It was Los Angeles’ sixth-straight win and capped off a 4-0 record since Week 5, which was the team’s last game from ROKiT Field at StubHub Center. Running back Melvin Gordon had 165 total yards, including a 66-yard touchdown reception on the opening possession of the second half. Gordon has at least 120 total yards and a touchdown in his last fi ve games -- all Chargers wins. Philip Rivers fi nished 18-of-26 for 223 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. The defense held Oakland out of the end zone and sacked quarterback Derek Carr four times. The Raiders executed a successful fake punt on the game’s opening possession when punter Johnny Townsend raced 42 yards to Los Angeles’ 21-yard line. Faced with a fourth-and-goal at the one-yard line, safety Derwin James stopped wide receiver Dwayne Harris on a jet sweep and the Chargers’ took over on downs. Los Angeles went three-and out on its only two possessions of the fi rst quarter. A 46-yard fi eld goal by Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson put Oakland up 3-0 after one.

With the Raiders threatening to increase their lead at the Chargers’ 21-yard line, defensive end Melvin Ingram sacked Derek Carr, who fumbled. The ball was scooped up by defensive tackle Corey Liuget and he returned it 24 yards to Oakland’s 40-yard line. The turnover resulted in a 27-yard Michael Badgley fi eld goal, which tied the game 3-3. After forcing a three-and-out on Oakland’s next possession, the Chargers continued their domination in the second quarter. A nine-play, 81-yard drive ending in an 11-yard touchdown reception by wide receiver Keenan Allen put Los Angeles up 10-3 at halftime. The Chargers have outscored their opponents 89-34 in the second quarter this season. Gordon’s touchdown was the only score in the third quarter. Los Angeles went up 20-6 in the fourth quarter on a 41-yard fi eld goal by Badgley, who set a team record for most points (24) without a missed kick through three games. Defensive end Isaac Rochell notched 1.5 sacks. He now has 4.5 sacks in his last fi ve games. Allen caught six balls for 57 yards and scored his fi rst touchdown since Week 1.

WEEK 11 RECAP - BRONCOS 23, CHARGERS 22

In the fi rst game from ROKiT Field at StubHub Center since Week 5, the Chargers fell 23-22 Sunday to the Denver Broncos. Broncos kicker Brandon McManus made a 34-yard fi eld goal as time expired to end the Chargers’ six-game winning streak. Running back Melvin Gordon totaled 156 yards – his sixth-straight game with at least 120 yards from scrimmage. Quarterback Philip Rivers fi nished 28-of-43 for 401 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Rivers has thrown at least two touchdowns in every game this season. It wasn’t enough, though, to overcome two turnovers and 14 penalties. Defensive end Joey Bosa added a quarterback hit and a tackle in his 2018 debut. After forcing a three-and-out to start the game, the Chargers’ offense put together a 13-play, 49-yard drive that included a pair of third-down catches by wide receiver Keenan Allen. Michael Badgley’s 46-yard fi eld goal gave Los Angeles an early 3-0 lead. The Bolts’ defense forced another fourth down when Bosa chased down quarterback Case Keenum, causing him to throw an incomplete pass while running out of bounds. Denver held the ball for just 4:09 of the opening quarter.

Rivers connected with fi ve different receivers for 121 yards in the fi rst quarter, but the Chargers committed seven penalties for 50 yards. They led 6-0 after Badgley’s second fi eld goal of the day – this one from 45-yards out. The Broncos took the lead when undrafted rookie running back Phillip Lindsay raced 41 yards for the team’s fi rst score of the day. The touchdown was aided by a fake punt that kept Denver’s drive alive. The Broncos responded with 13 unanswered points. Their fi rst score was set up by a Von Miller interception and a 42-yard return to the Chargers’ 18-yard line. A three-yard Royce Freeman touchdown cut Los Angeles’ lead to 19-14. Denver’s second score of the half was set up by a 39-yard catch-and-run by rookie wide receiver Courtland Sutton. A two-yard touchdown rush by Lindsay gave the Broncos a 20-19 lead after their two-point conversion failed. On its next possession, Los Angeles regained the lead 22-20 with an eight-play, 60-yard drive ending in a 30-yard Badgley fi eld goal. The next score of the game would be McManus’ game winner.

WEEK 12 RECAP - CHARGERS 45, CARDINALS 10

A record-setting performance by quarterback Philip Rivers propelled the Los Angeles Chargers to a 45-10 win over the Arizona Cardinals Sunday from ROKiT Field at StubHub Center. Rivers set a single-game NFL record by completing his fi rst 25 passes, most of which came during a stretch where the Chargers scored 45 unanswered points. He fi nished 28-of-29 for 259 yards and three touchdowns before giving way to Geno Smith in the fourth quarter. Rivers has thrown multiple touchdown passes in all 11 games in 2018. Only quarterbacks Johnny Unitas, Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers have thrown at least two touchdown passes in their fi rst 11 games to start a season. Running back Melvin Gordon had 10 carries for 61 yards and two touchdowns before leaving the game in the third quarter with a knee injury. Wide receiver Mike Williams scored two touchdowns and Keenan Allen caught seven balls for 72 yards and a touchdown – his third consecutive game with a score. The offensive explosion was complemented by a dominating defensive performance. Defensive end Joey Bosa notched his fi rst two sacks of the season and safety Derwin James

nabbed his second interception of the year. Arizona was held to just 149 yards of total offense. The Chargers improved to 8-3 on the season and fi nished 3-1 against the NFC West. They’ve outscored their opponents 124-41 in the second quarter this season. Arizona struck fi rst on its opening possession. A nine-play, 76-yard drive ended with a 25-yard touchdown pass from rookie quarterback Josh Rosen to future Hall of Fame wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald. After a Chargers three-and-out, Arizona got the ball back at Los Angeles’ 44-yard line thanks to a 26-yard punt return by rookie wide receiver Christian Kirk. Eight plays later, Phil Dawson kicked a 30-yard fi eld goal to increase the Cardinals lead to 10-0. Los Angeles, in need of an early spark, got it right away in the form of a 40-yard Desmond King kick return. Rivers fi nished the eight-play drive with a nine-yard touchdown pass to Williams to cut Arizona’s lead to 10-7. L.A.’s next two scores would come from its all-everything running back. Gordon had touchdown rushes of 26 and fi ve yards – the latter set up by James’ interception of Rosen. A Williams two-yard touchdown reception capped a 28-point second quarter for Los Angeles.

WEEK 13 RECAP - CHARGERS 33, STEELERS 30

The Los Angeles Chargers scored 26 second-half points to shock the Pittsburgh Steelers 33-30 Sunday night at Heinz Field. Kicker Michael Badgley kicked a game-winning, 29-yard fi eld goal with no time remaining. The Chargers are now 9-3 and have won eight of their last nine games. Philip Rivers went 26-of-36 for 299 yards and two touchdowns. Wide receiver Keenan Allen caught 14 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown, but contributions came from up and down the roster. After trailing 23-7 at halftime, rookie running back Justin Jackson had 82 total yards and a touchdown, all in the second half. With a knack for the big play, cornerback Desmond King scored a second-half touchdown on a 73-yard punt return. The Chargers opened the game with a promising drive that included three catches from Allen for 42 yards. On a fourth-and-one from Pittsburgh’s 34-yard line, Badgley attempted a 52-yard fi eld goal that was no good. Starting at its own 42-yard line, Pittsburgh needed just four plays to get on the board. A 46-yard reception by Antonio Brown set up a one-yard touchdown rush by James Conner to give the Steelers an early 7-0 lead. Los Angeles went three-and-out on its next possession, which set the Steelers up at the Chargers’ 48-yard line. A six-play drive ended the same way their fi rst did: a one-yard touchdown rush by Conner. A missed extra point made the score 13-0 Pittsburgh after one quarter.

Needing points in a hurry, Rivers went deep and found wide receiver Travis Benjamin, who raced down the right sideline for a 46-yard touchdown reception. For Benjamin, it was his fi rst touchdown since Week 17 of last season. Pittsburgh led 13-7 after one quarter. With Pittsburgh threatening to score on its third straight possession, Chargers rookie safety Derwin James picked off Ben Roethlisberger at Los Angeles’ eight-yard line. It was James’ third interception of the season, and second in as many games. His 36-yard return was negated by an illegal block penalty, though, and Los Angeles was eventually forced to punt. The Chargers used a 13-play, 88-yard drive in the third quarter to cut into Pittsburgh’s lead. In what in real time looked to be a Rivers interception in the end zone by Steelers cornerback Joe Haden turned into Haden colliding with teammate safety Sean Davis. The ball bounced off Haden and into the arms of Allen for a nine-yard touchdown. Rivers found Gates for the two-point conversion, which made the score 23-15. A holding penalty coupled with a Joey Bosa sack of Roethlisberger forced Pittsburgh to punt on its next possession, which led to King’s game-tying punt return touchdown. Los Angeles forced the Steelers into another three-and-out on their next possession. With an opportunity to take the lead, the Bolts leaned on their rookie ball carrier. Jackson had an 18-yard rush, a 19-yard reception and a go-ahead 18-yard rushing touchdown that made the score 30-23 Los Angeles.

WEEK 14 RECAP - CHARGERS 26, BENGALS 21

The Los Angeles Chargers beat the Cincinnati Bengals 26-21 on Sunday from ROKiT Field at StubHub Center to secure the franchise’s fi rst double-digit-win season since 2009. With 1:50 remaining in the game, the Bengals attempted a game-tying, two-point conversion after a one-yard touchdown rush by running back Joe Mixon. Defensive tackle Darius Philon sacked quarterback Jeff Driskel to keep the Chargers ahead for good. The difference in the fi ve-point win, though, was the foot of Michael Badgley. The rookie kicker made four fi eld goals including a 59-yarder, the longest in franchise history. Running back Austin Ekeler had 94 total yards and a touchdown while wide receiver Keenan Allen hauled in fi ve catches for 78 yards and a score – his fi fth in as many games. Quarterback Philip Rivers fi nished the game 19-of-29 for 220 yards and a touchdown. Defensive end Joey Bosa made six tackles and notched a sack – his fourth of the season. Rookie safety Derwin James had seven tackles. Los Angeles opened the game with a six-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that included a mix of everything – including a fi ve-yard run by Rivers. After rushes of 15 and 18 yards by Ekeler – and a 19-yard catch by wide receiver Mike Williams – Rivers found Allen for a 14-yard touchdown reception to give Los Angeles an early 7-0 lead.

The Chargers answered a 47-yard Bengals fi eld goal by kicker Randy Bullock with another touchdown. A 13-play, 85-yard L.A. drive ended with a fi ve-yard touchdown rush by Ekeler to put Los Angeles up 14-3 with 14:51 remaining in the half. Cincinnati’s next two scoring drives would start in Chargers territory. On the fi rst, Driskel came up inches short on a touchdown rush. On fourth-and-goal from inside the one, the Bengals committed a false start penalty and had to settle for a 23-yard Bullock fi eld goal, which cut the Chargers lead to 14-6. The Bengals’ next score was a touchdown. Driskel connected with wide receiver John Ross for a six-yard score, but Cincinnati failed to convert the two-point conversion. With 10 seconds remaining in the half, the Chargers used a pair of 11-yard receptions and a fi ve-yard offsides penalty to set up Badgley’s 59-yard fi eld goal attempt, which was good. Los Angeles led 17-12 at halftime. The only scores for Los Angeles in the second half were three Badgley fi eld goals (31, 32 and 45 yards).

Running back Justin Jackson started the game in place of Melvin Gordon and rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. Detrez Newsome added 53 total yards. Safety Adrian Phillips led the Chargers with nine tackles and defensive end Melvin Ingram was credited with 1.5 sacks. The win snaps a nine-game losing streak to the Chiefs and clinched a playoff spot. Rivers was intercepted by cornerback Steven Nelson on the second play of the game. Starting at the Chargers’ 49-yard line, the Chiefs closed a 10-play drive with a fi ve-yard touchdown reception from Patrick Mahomes to wide receiver Demarcus Robinson. Kansas City possessed the ball for nearly 10 minutes in the fi rst quarter. On its second

possession, Mahomes found running back Darrel Williams for an 11-yard touchdown reception. The Chiefs led 14-0 after one. Los Angeles got on the board with a 10-play drive that started with a 38-yard reception by Mike Williams. It ended with a three-yard touchdown from Rivers to Williams that cut Kansas City’s lead seven points. Late in the second quarter with the Chargers at Kansas City’s 11-yard line, Rivers threw an interception to cornerback Kendall Fuller in the end zone. It was Rivers’ second pick of the game, and it kept the score 14-7 Chiefs at halftime. Kansas City opened the second half with a seven-play, 74-yard touchdown drive. Running back Damien Williams punched in a two-yard score to increase the Chiefs lead to 21-7. A much-needed response from the Chargers came in the form of an 11-play, 76-yard scoring drive of their own. Mike Williams scored his second touchdown of the game on a 19-yard rush. He has nine total touchdowns on the season. Damien Williams’ second rushing touchdown of the night put Kansas City up 28-14 with 8:20 remaining in the game. Los Angeles answered with a three-yard touchdown rush by Jackson before Mike Williams’ score and go-ahead two-point conversion.

WEEK 16 RECAP - RAVENS 22, CHARGERS 10

The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 22-10 on Saturday night from ROKiT Field at StubHub Center. Los Angeles’ offense was held to 198 total yards and under 20 points for the fi rst time this season. Quarterback Philip Rivers fi nished 23-of-37 for 181 and two interceptions. Running back Melvin Gordon had 41 rushing yards on 12 carries and a touchdown after a three-game absence. Down 16-10 with 2:54 remaining, Rivers found tight end Antonio Gates for an 11-yard gain, but he fumbled. The ball was scooped up by cornerback Tavon Young, who raced 62 yards for a touchdown that put the game out of reach. On the fi rst play of the game, Ravens cornerback Brandon Carr intercepted Rivers on a ball intended for wide receiver Mike Williams. Baltimore immediately capitalized with a 43-yard rush by rookie running back Gus Edwards, which set up a 24-yard fi eld goal by Justin Tucker. Baltimore had 81 rushing yards in the fi rst quarter (7.4 yards per carry) with momentum entering the second. Threatening to score on a fourth-and-goal from the Chargers’ two-yard

line, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson threw an incomplete pass in the end zone to wide receiver Michael Crabtree. Los Angeles had four offensive possessions after Rivers’ interception on the game’s opening play. Three ended in punts; the fi nal was a nine-play, 65-yard drive ending with a 38-yard Michael Badgley fi eld goal to make the score 6-3 Baltimore at halftime. The Ravens’ offense held the ball for 19:54 in the fi rst half. The Ravens started the second half the same way the Chargers began the fi rst: with a turnover. A Kenneth Dixon fumble – forced by defensive tackle Darius Philon – was recovered at Baltimore’s 17-yard line by defensive end Melvin Ingram. Three plays later, Gordon punched in a one-yard touchdown run that gave L.A. a 10-6 lead. It took two plays for a Baltimore response. Jackson connected with tight end Mark Andrews for a 68-yard touchdown to retake the lead. Tucker would later add to the Ravens’ advantage in the third quarter with a 56-yard fi eld goal. The fi nal score of the game was Young’s defensive touchdown.

WEEK 17 RECAP - CHARGERS 23, BRONCOS 9

The Los Angeles Chargers used a season-high four forced turnovers to beat the Denver Broncos 23-9 in Sunday’s regular season fi nale from Broncos Stadium at Mile High. Los Angeles fi nished 8-1 away from ROKiT Field at StubHub Center and 12-4 overall. The victory also clinched the franchise’s sixth season with at least 12 wins. Now, the postseason awaits. The Chargers will travel to face the Baltimore Ravens next week in the fi rst round of the AFC Playoffs. Philip Rivers threw two interceptions in a fi rst quarter that featured fi ve combined punts and zero points. The game remained scoreless with 5:44 remaining in the second quarter until Chargers linebacker Kyle Emanuel scooped up a fumble for an 18-yard touchdown. With the Broncos threatening to score before the half, quarterback Case Keenum was intercepted by Chargers safety Jahleel Addae in the end zone. On the return, Addae attempted a backward lateral that was recovered by Denver at Los Angeles’ 20-yard line. Seven plays later, Brandon McManus kicked a 28-yard fi eld goal to make the score 7-3 Chargers at halftime. Los Angeles increased its lead in the third quarter after another Broncos turnover.

Defensive end Joey Bosa recovered a Tim Patrick fumble – forced by Adrian Phillips – at the Broncos’ 16-yard line. Four plays later, Rivers connected with wide receiver Mike Williams for a four-yard touchdown reception. Denver cut the lead to 14-9 in the fourth quarter with a 20-yard touchdown reception by fullback Andy Janovich. The two-point conversion attempt was intercepted in the end zone by cornerback Casey Hayward and returned for two Chargers points. Suddenly, what could have been a three-point game fl ipped to seven. Austin Ekeler’s one-yard touchdown rush with 5:48 remaining in the game sealed the win for Los Angeles. Ekeler led the Chargers with 58 rushing yards on eight carries. Rivers fi nished the game 14-of-24 for 176 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions before giving way to Geno Smith in the fourth quarter. Mike Williams and Keenan Allen combined for nine catches for 129 yards and a touchdown. Los Angeles committed a season-high four turnovers of their own. Bosa notched a sack and ended the regular season with 5.5 in seven games. Phillips led the defense with 12 tackles.

WILD CARD RECAP - CHARGERS 23, RAVENS 17

Threes and D. That’s what the Los Angeles Chargers used to defeat the Baltimore Ravens 23-17 in Sunday’s AFC Wild Card Round from M&T Bank Stadium. Rookie kicker Michael Badgley converted on fi ve fi eld goals, while Los Angeles’ defense forced two turnovers, sacked quarterback Lamar Jackson seven times and held Baltimore to 229 yards of total offense -- the fewest allowed in postseason team history. Badgley set a single-game postseason team record for made fi eld goals and points. Down 23-3, the Ravens scored 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter with an opportunity to win the game down six. With 28 seconds remaining, linebacker Uchenna Nwosu sacked Jackson, who fumbled. Defensive end Melvin Ingram recovered the ball to end the game. The Chargers won time of possession 33:40 to 26:20. Quarterback Philip Rivers fi nished the game 22-of-32 for 160 yards while spreading the ball to nine different receivers. Running back Melvin Gordon rushed for 40 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries.

Chargers Defensive Coordinator Gus Bradley featured seven defensive backs on the fi eld for much of the game. In the fi rst quarter, Ingram forced a Jackson fumble, which was recovered by safety Adrian Phillips. The turnover set up a 21-yard Badgley fi eld goal that gave Los Angeles an early 3-0 lead. Later in the quarter, the rookie kicker converted from 53 yards out to increase the Chargers’ lead to 6-0. Badgley added his third fi eld goal in the second quarter, a 40-yarder off a Phillips interception of Jackson. His fourth was a 34-yarder as time expired in the second quarter to put Los Angeles up 12-0 at halftime. In a drive that began late in the third quarter and ended in the fourth, Gordon’s one-yard touchdown rush -- L.A.’s lone TD of the game -- capped a 10-play, 60-yard drive. Wide receiver Mike Williams’ two-point conversion put Los Angeles up 20-3. Badgley’s 47-yard fi eld goal in the fourth quarter was L.A.’s fi nal score of the game. Ingram had two sacks while defensive ends Joey Bosa and Isaac Rochell, defensive tackle Justin Jones, defensive back Desmond King and Nwosu each chipped in with one apiece.
