The Chargers spent a lot of time in an airplane last season, finishing as the fourth-most traveled team in the NFL.
How do the Bolts fare this upcoming season with the amount of miles that’ll be tacked up?
Traveling quite a bit will once again be a common thing for the Chargers this year as they are set to travel nearly 25,000 miles, which marks the fifth-highest, right behind the Seahawks, Jaguars, Rams and 49ers.

This statistic shouldn’t come as much of a surprise because L.A. is furthest on the west coast.
While there are more local games like those against their rivals in the AFC West, the Chargers have to go all the way to the east coast to take on the Ravens, Eagles, Bengals, as well as the season opener against Washington Football Team.
Regardless of the location, the Bolts are eager to pick up as many victories as possible in hopes of making the playoffs under first-year head coach Brandon Staley.
